In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the talented pilot and writer.
Little Antoine grew up in Lyon, France. He was a curious and creative child who enjoyed reading fairy tales, setting up experiments and writing. Fascinated by planes, he always dreamt of taking to the skies. When he joined the French army during WWII, he finally got the chance. Antoine spent a short time in the air force before leaving to become a mail pilot, all the while writing about his adventures in the clouds.
In 1935 he crashed in the desert during a flight from Paris to Saigon. With only a few supplies, he became very ill. Fortunately, after four days, he was found by a passer-by and nursed back to health. This experience influenced much of Antoine's future writing. Later, he moved the United States where he campaigned for France's freedom from Nazism.
During this period he wrote the Little Prince , the captivating story of love and loss which became one of the best-selling children's book of all time.
This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the writer's life.
