Little Prince Lamp

Saint-Exupéry's small traveller has been a bedside fixture for generations — the boy from a tiny asteroid, the rose he left behind, the fox he tamed, and the endless business of grown-ups who never understand anything by themselves. This lamp takes that world and turns it into something that switches on. Lit, it does the job most story lamps are asked to do: give a child's room a soft point of light to fall asleep beside, and give an adult's room a quiet reference that anyone who has read the book will recognise instantly. It sits comfortably on a nightstand, a nursery shelf or a reading corner. It makes a considered gift for a christening, a new baby or a graduation, since the story carries a bit of weight for readers at both ends of that range. One of those pieces that reads as thoughtful rather than novelty.
