The Little Prince

This strange and lovely parable, written as much for adults as for children, and beautifully illustrated by the author, has become a classic of our time. The narrator, an air pilot, tells how, having made a forced landing in the Sahara Desert, he meets the little prince. The wise and enchanting stories the prince tells about the planet where he lives with three volcanoes and a haughty flower, about the other planets and their rules, and about his fight with the bad seeds, make him an entrancing, unforgettable character.
