Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s classic tale – beloved by children and adults alike – now in a beautiful clothbound edition

Antoine de Saint-Exupery first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.

The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. \”In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don’t dare disobey,\” the narrator recalls. \”Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket.\” And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator’s imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
