In the exquisite imagery of this fairy tale, the poet-writer shares with children something of the mystics vision and wisdom of life.

Translated by Irene Testot-Ferry.
The Little Prince is a classic tale of equal appeal to children and adults.
On one level it is the story of an airmans discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.
First published in 1943, the year before the authors death in action, this translation contains Saint-Exuperys delightful illustrations.
