Now with the restored original artwork, the beloved classic story of a young prince's travels throughout space--a profound 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.The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit. In this special edition, the artwork has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exupéry's original artwork.This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Lyon, 1900 - Tyrrhenian Sea, 1944) was a French novelist and aviator, whose experiences as a pilot inspired much of his literary work. Born into an aristocratic family (his father was a viscount), he had a happy childhood on the family estates, although he lost his father at the age of four. His mother, a cultured and sensitive woman, had a profound influence on his life, and he maintained extensive correspondence with her over the years. Saint-Exupéry combined his passion for aviation with writing, creating works that explore themes such as humanity, loneliness, and the meaning of life.

On April 6, 1943, he published his most famous work, The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), a philosophical and poetic tale that has become one of the most translated and read books in history, with versions in more than 250 languages. Considered one of the best literary creations of the 20th century, this work transcends generations and cultures. Saint-Exupéry disappeared in 1944 during a reconnaissance mission in the Tyrrhenian Sea, leaving a literary legacy that continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.
