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
story of an airman's discovery, in the desert, of a small boy from
another planet - the Little Prince of the title - and his stories
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.

ceases and he asks his friends for help, Timon is shocked to find

for humanity, and he goes on to live the life of a hermit. About
