Annotation:
Part fable, part fairy tale, part philosophy of life, THE LITTLE PRINCE tells the story of a pilot who crashes his airplane in the Sahara Desert, where he meets the Little Prince, a visitor from another planet. The Little Prince tells the pilot he has been traveling to many distant asteroids to get advice on how to care for his rose, the only flower that grows on his tiny planet. The Little Prince's journey is frustrating until he travels to Earth, where he learns about love, friendship, responsibility, and beauty.

Author Bio
Antoine De Saint-Exupery
French aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery obtained his pilot's licence in 1922 and worked as an aviator, a test pilot, and a reporter for Paris-Soir in the 1930s. He served in the French air force in North Africa during World War II and was shot down over the Mediterranean in 1944. His best-known book is THE LITTLE PRINCE, a child's fable for adults. He is also the author of NIGHT FLIGHT, based on his own experiences, and three other novels, all of which are about the pleasures and dangers of flying, and the salvation to be found in its discipline.
