Description
A stunning reissue in Puffin Clothbound Classics of one of the world's most beloved stories.
A stunning hardback gift edition of one of the world's most beloved stories.
The timeless, enchanting story of the little prince who lives on a tiny planet with three volcanoes and a haughty flower, which he must protect from the baobabs, the bad seeds. The rulers of the other planets he visits all suffer from the cares and stupidities of the everyday world. Only the little prince, through his clear, loving eyes, knows that the simplest of things can be of the utmost importance.
Translated by T. V. F. Cuffe, and with the original illustrations, the story is complete and unabridged.

About the Author
Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Author) Writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944), was born into an aristocratic French family at the turn of the century. Saint-Exupery was preoccupied with aviation from a young age; a passion which would lead him into the French Air Force. His first two books, Southern Mail and Night Flight, are distinguished by a poetic evocation of the romance and discipline of flying. Later works, including Wind, Sand and Stars and Flight to Arras, stress his humanistic philosophy. Saint-Exupery's popular children's book The Little Prince is also read by adults for its allegorical meaning. In 1944, Saint-Exupery's plane disappeared during a mission in World War II.
