小さな王子さま (Chīsana ōjisama)

Except for Yamazakiʼs translation, all the new editions use the title first given by Naitō: Hoshi no ōjisama [Prince from a Star]. Yamazaki chose Chīsana ōjisama, which is a more literal rendering of the original. His edition also includes detailed notes, explaining, for instance, that the book was based on the authorʼs near-death experience after crashing into a desert in Libya in 1935.
