Antoine de Saint-Exupry first published The Little Prince in 1943. 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. The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. The tale is ultimately a tender onea heartfelt exposition of sadness and solitude. The result is a new and improved version of an indestructible classic, which also restores the original artwork to full color.
