A pilot stranded in the desert
awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little
fellow. “Please,” asks the stranger, “draw me a sheep.” And the pilot realizes
that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but
to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper…. And thus begins
this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really
important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.
Few stories are as widely read
and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince,
presented here in a stunning new translation with carefully restored artwork.
