The Little Prince
OVER 140 MILLION COPIES SOLD
The beloved classic story about a young prince's travels through space—a profound philosophical tale about loneliness and loss, and love and friendship.
A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature and the wisdom of the heart.
The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, a classic fable universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit.
This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

I finally read this one for a readathon. I needed a short, quick read. I probably would have enjoyed this more as a child, but I can see why it's a beloved classic for a lot people. Sweet, but sad.

My mom read me this book when I was little, it's one of her favorites. I re-read it as part of the current Goodreads Reading Challenge. I'm glad I did, there's so much about it that I either didn't remember or didn't understand as a child. This book is, at it's core, really about how the most important things in life are intangible: love, laughter, friendship, memories, etc. and how adults often forget what is really important.
