Having crash-landed in the Sahara desert, a pilot comes across a young boy who introduces himself as the Little Prince and tells him the story of how he grew up on a tiny asteroid before travelling across the galaxies and coming to Earth. His encounters and discoveries, seen through childlike, innocent eyes, give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature. Presented here in a new translation by Gregory Norminton and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations, The Little Prince has become a classic philosophical fable for young and old.
In 2023, The Little Prince will celebrate 80 years of unsurpassed
success. One of the most published and translated books in the
world (by some accounts, second only to The Bible). Never before
have its themes of loneliness, loss, love, and friendship been more
relevant. While The Little Prince is packaged for children, it is
appreciated and celebrated by parents and friends. This edition
includes the entire, unmodified, original text by Antoine de
Saint-Exupery, first published in English after his exile to the
U.S. in 1943 - accompanied by exclusive illustrations from Mondo
Mombo, a well-known, Italian, children's-art firm founded by

It features a specially commissioned translation by Ros and Chloe Schwarz, as well as the charming original illustrations by Saint-Exupéry himself in colour.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's delightful The Little Prince has been translated into over 180 languages and sold over 80 million copies.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's timeless tale, reissued in a beautiful
clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Antoine de
Saint-Exupery first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a
year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a
reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of
love and loneliness has lost none of its power. The narrator is a
downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his
wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the
apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In
the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the
narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all
inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper
and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which
stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising,
childlike directions.
'You only see clearly with your heart. The most important things
are invisible to the eyes.' Part of the Macmillan Collector's
Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics
with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful
hardbacks make perfect gifts for book lovers, or wonderful
additions to your own collection. This edition features a specially
commissioned translation by Ros and Chloe Schwarz, as well as the
charming original illustrations by Saint-Exupery himself, coloured
by Barbara Frith. After crash-landing in the Sahara Desert, a pilot
encounters a little prince who is visiting Earth from his own
planet. Their strange and moving meeting illuminates for the

it means to be human from a child who is not. Antoine de

Under the pressure of his boss, the intransigent Riviere, the
airmail pilot Fabien attempts a perilous flight during a heavy
night-time thunderstorm in Argentina. As conditions get worse and
the radio communication with Fabien becomes increasingly difficult,
Riviere begins to question his uncompromising methods, and his
distress turns to guilt when the pilot's wife comes to find him in
search of answers. Based on Saint-Exupery's own experiences as a
commercial pilot, Night Flight is a haunting and lyrical
examination of duty, destiny and the individual, as well as an
authentic and tragic portrayal of the intrepid early days of human
air travel.
When a pilot finds himself alone and stranded with a broken-down
plane, a little prince is his only companion living on a strange
deserted planet. Full of wisdom, humour and delight, this book
while intended for children is also a favourite of adults for its
quirkiness and insight. First published in 1943 and written by
now-famous French writer Antoine de Saint Exupery, The Little
Prince has grown to be a world-wide classic, loved by many. This
edition features the original drawings by Saint Exupery, which help
to bring the story to life.
