The honored artist of Russia Nika Goltz was firmly convinced that every child should have a paper book with color illustrations, and therefore the artist approached the creation of illustrations with particular care. Her works evoke thoughts of infinity, they are enveloped in a shroud of mystery and mystique, and at the same time her paintings break through as a bright ray of joy and hope. The impressions received from Nika Goltz's illustrations will stay with you for a lifetime.
Nika Goltz was awarded the Diploma of H.-C. Andersen for her illustrations to the fairy tales of H.-C. Andersen – the most important award in the world in the field of children's literature and illustration.
Once, after being in an accident in the Libyan desert, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry found himself face to face with the blue sky and hot sand. The writer spent three days like this until, as if coming out of nowhere, the Little Prince rescued him by the Bedouins. That is why the desert plays a significant role in the fairy tale, where the familiar pilot meets the mysterious boy, becomes immersed in his story, and where he accompanies the Little Prince on his return journey to his home planet.
The text of "The Little Prince" is presented in the canonical translation by Nora Gal.
The collection with illustrations by Nika Goltz includes the books: A. de Saint-Exupéry “The Little Prince”, H.-C. Andersen “Thumbelina. Fairy Tales” and O. Wilde “The Happy Prince. Fairy Tales”.
