Today I’m sharing one of my favorite stories: Le Petit Prince, or The Little Prince, by Antoine De Saint-Exupery. My amazing boyfriend introduced me to this book, and I’ll always cherish it for that reason. Plus, it’s a great read! That helps, too.
You can find the French version (with almost the same cover pictured below) or the English version on Amazon or Barnes & Noble (where it’s also available in both languages).
De Saint-Exupéry first published the book in 1943, only one year before he and his Lockheed P-38 aircraft disappeared over the Mediterranean. He’s been nicknamed the “Winged Poet” and also wrote Wind, Sand and Stars, Night Flight, Southern Mail, and Airman’s Odyssey.
This cover looks so wonderfully childlike in its design. What do you think?
What do I think??? It’s adorable!! I love it. Thank you for finding it. I’ll have to read this too. I love the books you find.
Thanks, Sarah! Definitely give this one a read sometime. It’s fantastic!
I have this book down for my to-read list, but haven’t found anyone who has read it. Thanks for saying it is a great book. Now I will be more excited when I read it.
I love the story of the little prince!
Me too! It’s one of my favorites. :)
