What parents need to know. Parents need to know that Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry's The Little Prince, first published in 1943, is a classic fable about a stranded pilot's encounter with a young prince who travels from planet to planet in search of knowledge.

Richard Howard's new translation of the beloved classic--published to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry's birth--beautifully reflects Saint-ExupÃ©ry's unique and gifted style.
