The Little Prince is a clssic tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the story of an airmans discovery in the desert of a small boy from another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.First published in 1943, the year before the authors death in action, this new translation contains Saint-Exuperys delightful illustrations.
