The Little Prince Elephant Coffee Cup and Saucer Gift Set

"Who made you up, the world of stars..." The Little Prince is the beloved "fairy tale for grown-ups" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - the French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist and pioneering aviator. This very special story has touched us all, when our parents read it to us when we were kids, and even more so - when we read it ourselves as adults... "I showed my masterpiece to the grown−ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?". My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown−ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown−ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained..." - this beautiful quote is featured on the saucer, as well as the two drawings created by the writer himself - painted on the saucer and the cup, accordingly. This wonderful gift set will become a wonderful gift to you and your loved-ones, as well as serve as a reminder to always keep an open mind...
