After crash-landing in the Sahara Desert, a pilot encounters a little prince who is visiting Earth from his own planet.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's delightful book has been translated into over 180 languages and sold over 80 million copies. This Macmillan Collector's Library edition features a specially commissioned new translation by Ros and Chloe Schwarz, as well as the charming original illustrations by Saint-Exupéry himself. It's a book that will enchant both children and adults alike.
About this Author
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, born in Lyon on 29 June 1900, was a French writer and aviator. In 1921 he began his military service and trained as a pilot, and at the outbreak of the Second World War he joined the French Air Force flying reconnaissance missions. Later, he joined the Free French Forces but while flying a mission in the Rhone valley on 31 July 1944 he disappeared and was never seen again. It was assumed that he was shot down over the Mediterranean. An unidentifiable body wearing French colours was found several days later and buried in Carqueiranne that September.
