the little prince

by Antoine De Saint-Exupery

 The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language. 

With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, he encounters an airplane pilot in the Desert of Sahara.  

The stranded pilot has crashed thousands of miles from human habitation. 

 He must repair his plane before his small supply of water runs out.

Amazingly, it is here in the middle of nowhere that the pilot is met by this little boy, dressed in high boots and a long, regal cape and claiming to be a little prince from another world.

During their time together in the desert, the little prince recounts to the pilot how he has managed to leave his tiny works of asteroid B-612 and eventually make his way to the planet Earth

The little prince tell stories about the characters he has met along his journey, from the lonely king who lays claim to all the stars in the sky, to the geographer who knows nothing of the worlds around him except from what he reads in books.

By the time the little prince finally leaves Earth, he has talked with plants and animals as well as with people, and the lessons he has learned along the way ultimately affect no one more than the lone pilot he meets in the desert.
