And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

THE LITTLE PRINCE is French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous novella.

The story, first published in 1943, is about a pilot who must make an emergency landing in the desert because of engine problems.

This timeless story has been adapted to various media over the decades, including stage, screen and operatic works.
