"The Little Prince (Illustrated Edition)" is one of the most influential works of French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who tells us a dreamlike story set in the Sahara Desert: In the Sahara Desert, a pilot who has made an emergency landing encounters a little prince from outer space. This adorable little boy searches for friendship everywhere. He has visited six planets, where he finds a ridiculous man obsessed with power; a second planet inhabited by a vain person; a third planet with a drunkard; a fourth planet with a greedy businessman; a fifth planet with a selfish lamplighter; and a sixth planet with a geographer who knows nothing about the ocean or mountains. The little prince believes that love and friendship are above all else. So where can one find friendship? The ending of the fairy tale reveals the truth: love and friendship are all around us. This fairy tale is pure in language, full of emotion and poetry, and has been translated into over 100 languages so far, considered one of the greatest fairy tales of the 20th century.
