Wind, Sand and Stars (Terre des hommes)

The true first of the work is the French 'Terre des hommes,' Gallimard, Paris, 1939. The English text is not a straight translation — Saint-Exupéry revised and added material for the American audience — so the Reynal & Hitchcock 'Wind, Sand and Stars' is collected as the first edition of that distinct English text; both the French original and the English edition are collected. The signed limited of 500 is the first English-language printing, preceding the Reynal & Hitchcock trade edition.
