The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), is a famous book by the aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Ostensibly a children's book, it makes several profound and idealistic points about life and love.

The Little Prince was Saint-Exupéry's most famous novel, in which he imagined himself to be stranded on a tiny planet occupied only by the Prince, a child-like adult. In their conversations, the author revealed his own views about the follies of mankind and the simple wisdom that adults seem to forget when they grow up.
