What this book is about
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince is a French fable published in 1943 in which a pilot stranded in the Sahara meets a mysterious little prince who has traveled from his tiny asteroid, tending his rose and visiting other planets. The prince's observations of the adult world — its vanity, its need for numbers, its forgetfulness of what is essential — are presented through a child's eyes with a clarity that has made the book one of the bestselling in history. Deceptively simple, genuinely wise, and quietly heartbreaking at its end.
