Synopsis
OVER 140 MILLION COPIES SOLD
The beloved classic story about a young prince's travels through space―a profound philosophical tale about loneliness and loss, and love and friendship.
A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature and the wisdom of the heart.
The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, a classic fable universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit.
This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

His other books include Night Flight; Southern Mail; and Airman's Odyssey. A pilot at twenty-six, he was a pioneer of commercial aviation and flew in the Spanish Civil War and World War II.

The artwork in this new edition has been restored to match in detail and in colour Saint-Exupery's original artwork. By combining the new translation with restored original art, Harcourt is proud to introduce the definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince. It will capture the hearts of readers of all ages. AUTHOR: Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the "Winged Poet," was born in Lyon, France, in 1900.
