The Little Prince is a classic tale with equal appeal to children and adults. On one level, it is the story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from another planet—the Little Prince of the title—and his stories of intergalactic travel. On another level, it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.

First published in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, this translation contains Saint-Exupéry's delightful illustrations.
