In the exquisite imagery of this fairy tale, the poet-writer shares with children something of the mystics vision and wisdom of life.--New York Public Library. n nTranslated by Irene Testot-Ferry.n nThe Little Prince is a classic 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.n nFirst published in 1943, the year before the authors death in action, this translation contains Saint-Exuperys delightful illustrations.n
