Antoine de Saint-Exupery was born in France in 1900, when
aeroplanes were just being invented. He always dreamt of flying,
and when he became a pilot as a young man, his adventures truly
began. He was one of the first pilots to deliver mail by plane and,
along with his fellow pilots, helped to create new routes to
faraway places. Antoine flew over mountains and deserts, battled
winds and storms, and even tried to break aviation records. He also
crashed a number of times. From his plane he reflected on life on
the earth and in the skies, and this inspired him to write about
his experiences. Peter Sis's remarkable biography celebrates the
author of The Little Prince, one of the world's most beloved books.
