The Little Prince | Wordsworth Edition

With its timeless charm, the story follows a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to explore the universe.

As he travels, he learns about the peculiarities of adult behaviour through a series of extraordinary encounters. His personal journey ultimately leads him to Earth, where he embarks on further adventures.

The Little Prince is a modern fable, and for readers far and wide both the title and the work have exerted a pull far in excess of the book’s brevity.

Written and published first by Antoine de St-Exupéry in 1943, only a year before his plane disappeared on a reconnaissance flight, it is one of the world’s most widely translated books, enjoyed by adults and children alike.

This compact hardback is cloth-bound, with matching coloured end papers, embossed gold and coloured blocking.
