The Little Prince

Originally published in 1943, this is a tender tale of friendship, love and loss. It has become one of the best-selling books ever published. The story is told by a narrator, who crashes in the Sahara and happens to meet a young boy called the ‘little prince’ who has golden hair and an endearing laugh. During the next eight days, while the narrator attempts to repair his plane, the little prince shares the story of his life. The little prince describes life on his tiny home planet—a little asteroid, which has three volcanoes and various plants. This delightful children’s fable makes insightful comments about life and human nature.
