The Little Prince

About “The Little Prince”

The Little Prince is a novella written and illustrated by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a French writer and aviator. It was first published in 1943 in the United States by Reynal & Hitchcock, in both English and French. It was later published in France after the country's liberation, as Saint-Exupéry's works had been banned under the Vichy Regime. The story follows a young prince who travels from planet to planet, including Earth, and explores themes such as loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Though it is often considered a children's book, it offers reflections on life, adults, and human nature. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
