Translated by Irene Testot-Ferry. The Little Prince is a classic
tale of equal appeal to children and adults. On one level it is the

of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a
thought-provoking allegory of the human condition. First published
in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, this
translation contains Saint-Exupery's delightful illustrations.
