Edition of The Little Prince in English autographed by Che Guevarra PP-3939 (first edition, fifth printing) has two inscriptions. The first is from 1947. The second is dated from 4 September 1959 at the end of the Cuban revolution. This inscription is from Che Guevara for his friend Pancho Gamin and it reads:"A través de tantos años de lucha, a mi amigo Pancho Gamin" ("To my friend Pancho Gamin, after so many years of fighting").   In his biography of Ernesto Guevara, Pierre Kalfon evokes the Che reading The Little Prince in these terms: "One day he was locked in the bathroom for so long that the military unit began to worry. The Che was reading The Little Prince. When he finally came out, he said -in the very rough language he always used-: 'Lo leí de una cagada' ('I read it in just one shit')".

Typoscript of the first German translation of The Little Prince by Grete and Josef Leitgeb This typoscript by Josef Leitgeb, dating from 1950, comes from the estate of Ignaz Zangerle, a recognized writer and educator for adults from Innsbruck who was a close friend of the Leitgebs. His daughter Veronika Zangerle (Pointer-Zangelrle by marriage in Salzburg) sold it to a Viennese collector. It is the wife of the latter who donated it to the foundation. The illustrations are attributed to the Tyrolean painter Max Weiler who knew the Leitgebs since the 30s and who had painted a portrait of the Zangerle couple.
