Features: One of the most influential works of the 20th century, translated into 33 languages and globally best-selling; Author Tetsuko Kuroyanagi was hailed by The New York Times and Time as one of Japan's greatest women. Her masterpiece, The Little Prince, published in 1981, not only in Japan but also worldwide, sparked immense response.
