A beautiful gift edition with full-colour illustrations, presented here in a new translation by prize-winning novelist Gregory Norminton, The Little Prince has since become a classic philosophical fable for young and old, as well as a global publishing phenomenon, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide and being translated into dozens of languages. Having crash-landed in the Sahara desert, a pilot comes across a young boy who introduces himself as the "Little Prince" and tells him the story of how he grew up on a tiny asteroid before travelling across the galaxies and coming to Earth. His encounters and discoveries, seen through childlike, innocent eyes, give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature. First published in 1943 and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations, The Little Prince has since become a classic philosophical fable for young and old, as well as a global publishing phenomenon, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide and being translated into dozens of languages.

Review
'A saint in short, true to his name, flying up here at the right hand of God… And he was not the only one. He was merely the one who put it into words most beautifully and anointed himself before the altar of the right stuff.' --Tom Wolfe

'The Little Prince is one of a kind and the new edition is true to the atmospherically factual style of the fantasy.' --The School Librarian Journal

遥远星球上的小王子，与美丽而骄傲的玫瑰吵架负气出走，在各星球漫游中，小王子遇到了傲慢的国王、酒鬼、惟利是图的商人，死守教条的地理学家，然后来到地球上，试图找到治愈孤独和痛苦的良方。
这时，他遇到一只奇怪的狐狸，于是奇妙而令人惊叹的事情发生了……

The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. “In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don’t dare disobey,” the narrator recalls. “Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket.” And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator’s imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
