The Little Prince

Having crash-landed in the Sahara desert- a pilot comes across a young boy who introduces himself as the Little Prince and tells him the story of how he grew up on a tiny asteroid before travelling across the galaxies and coming to Earth. His encounters and discoveries- seen through childlike- innocent eyes- give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature. First published in 1943 and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations- The Little Prince has since become a classic philosophical fable for young and old- as well as a global publishing phenomenon- selling tens of millions of copies worldwide and being translated into dozens of languages.
