For the last seventy years, The Little Prince has captured the imaginations of readers around the world. This lyrical picture book biography tells the story of its author, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. As a child, Antoine dreamed of flying. His dream was realised when he became a pilot, first serving France during World War I, then working as an international mail courier. As he wrote letters to his family describing the foreign countries he visited, he soon discovered that writing contained its own sense of adventure. His stories showed a childlike fascination with the world, culminating with The Little Prince, one of the best-selling books ever published. Bimba Landmanns biography is paired with whimsical yet profound illustrations, wonderfully capturing Saint-Exupérys personality. This book will give fresh insight into the life of a cherished author.
