The Little Prince

The Little Prince is the tale of a pilot, who meets a young boy after crash-landing in the Sahara. The boy claims to have fallen to Earth from a tiny faraway asteroid.

Despite its guise of a children’s book with whimsical watercolour illustrations, the novella carries the weight of grief, war and quiet condemnation of propagated hatred.

Translated into more than 600 languages, it remains one of the canonical marvels of world literature.
