About The Book
After crash-landing in the Sahara Desert, a pilot encounters a little prince who is visiting Earth from his own planet. Their strange and moving meeting illuminates, for the aviator, many of life’s universal truths, as he comes to learn what it means to be human from a child who is not. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s delightful, ‘The Little Prince’ has been translated into over 180 languages and sold over 80 million copies.
