Description
The Little Prince is a classic tale of simplicity and immediacy that endears itself to both children and adults. The absence of childlike simplicity in a materialistic civilization is portrayed at the very start when the author's drawing of a boa constrictor that has eaten an elephant cannot be comprehended by adults, who believe it to be a hat. On one level it is the story of an airman's discovery in the desert of a small boy from another planet and his tales of intergalactic travel, while on the other hand it is a thought provoking fable or allegory. First published in 1943, it addresses most major social concerns of Saint-Exupèry's days and of modern times. This translation also contains the author's delightful illustrations.
