Summary
After his plane crashes in the middle of the Sahara Desert, a stranded pilot meets a strangely dressed boy who claims to be a prince from the asteroid known as B-612. The little prince tells the pilot all about his tiny planet—and the events that caused him to take off on an interplanetary voyage that eventually brought him to Earth.
The little prince describes his journey and the characters he met along the way—from the lonely king who lays claim to all the stars in the sky to the geographer who knows nothing of the worlds around him except what he reads in books. The characters teach the prince about vanity, greed, power, and more—until a fox on Earth finally teaches him the most important lesson of all.
Since it was first published in French in 1943, this whimsical and wonderful classic about a little prince with very big ideas has been embraced around the world by readers of all ages!
