Their encounter frames a fable that moves between the desert and the Little Prince’s travels through space. The story brings loneliness and loss into conversation with love, friendship, and questions about human nature and the wisdom of the heart. Its simple central setup gives these reflective themes a place within an imaginative tale.

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-Exup
