The Little Prince: And Letter to a Hostage

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.
