A pilot stranded in the desert encounters an extraordinary little fellow who asks him to draw a sheep.

Thus begins a wise and enchanting fable that reveals the true essence of what is important in life, forever changing its readers. This stunning edition includes the classic English translation and original illustrations that will captivate readers of all ages. Perfect as a gift for fans or as an introduction for new readers, it also features bonus non-fiction material about the book's publication, its reception, and the real-life inspiration behind the story. Antoine de Saint-Exupery, born in Lyons, France, wrote this beloved tale during a two-year self-imposed exile from occupied France. A year after its publication in 1943, he disappeared while flying a reconnaissance mission. Katherine Woods, who produced the original English translation, is celebrated for capturing the enchantment of Saint-Exupery's storytelling in her poetic rendition.
