Publisher Synopsis
The pilot who wrote the story of The Little Prince died long ago, but the fictional pilot, who told the story, is as alive today as he was decades ago, along with his Prince, the fox, the rose, the snake and the laughing stars, ringing bells that fill the clear nights with voices of the heart.

They are signalling that they are here to stay, not just for French readers, but for readers all around the world - for the readers who have the eyes to see, the ears to listen and the courage to imagine -- Azar Nafisi Of all the books written in French over the past century, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's "Le Petit Prince" is surely the best loved in the most tongues * New Yorker * The Little Prince will shine upon children with a sidewise gleam.

Even 70 years after the author's disappearance, adults and children around the world continue to feel a strong connection to his distinctive illustrations and the book's bittersweet philosophy of growing up * Daily Telegraph * Here is a sweetly and simply told tale of a little boy from a very little asteroid, so big with meaning that even important people will find wisdom in it; so simply told that even critics and college professors ought to understand its beauty and meaning; a thin little book filled with rich substance; something easy to read and remember and hard to forget * Los Angeles Times * Read more...
