First published in 1943, the story follows a stranded aviator who meets a curious young prince from a distant asteroid.

As the two strike up an unlikely friendship, the prince recounts his journey across the galaxy, describing the strange and often foolish adults he has met on other planets, each representing a different aspect of grown-up life stripped of wonder and imagination. Through simple, lyrical prose, Saint-Exupéry weaves a story that operates on two levels: a charming fable for children and a thought-provoking allegory for adults about what truly matters in life. Illustrated throughout with the author's own original artwork, this Wordsworth Children's Classics edition preserves the enchanting visual style that has made the book instantly recognisable across the world. Since its original publication, The Little Prince has become one of the most translated and best-selling books ever written, cherished for its exploration of friendship, responsibility, loneliness and the importance of seeing with the heart rather than the eyes. This affordable paperback edition makes the story accessible for family bookshelves, classrooms and gift-giving alike, offering exceptional value without compromising on the integrity of the original text and illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA beloved literary classic suitable for children and adults alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures the author's own original illustrations throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAffordable, durable paperback — ideal for repeat reading and gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages discussion of friendship, imagination and what really matters in life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat for classroom reading, book clubs and bedtime stories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA perfect introduction to translated world literature for young readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAntoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) was a French writer, poet and pioneering aviator.
