A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature and the wisdom of the heart. The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, a classic fable universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit. This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

Arrived faster than expected. Very good condition as new for a little price. I am very much pleased' ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Très Beau Livre pour Tous et Toujours *by M***1 on June 21, 2015* I read this book first for a high school French class and decided to revisit it a few years later. Once I opened the first page, I couldn't put it down. This is a heartbreakingly beautiful story about love, friendship, and innocence. When I first read it as a freshman, I couldn't believe I was being forced to read a book for "babies," and I skipped many of the pages and passages that I couldn't understand. However, this book is exceptionally powerful and goes much deeper than the average children's novel. It has important lessons and reminders for someone of any age, and as I've come back to it over the years, I've found new ones each time. There is an unexplainable magic and warmth that surrounds this book, and I would sincerely recommend it to anyone. There are benefits to buying this book in French, if you are able. The English translation is nice, but the French seems to be much more "complete" and satisfying. It reads like it was meant to be read. This book is also fantastic for language learning. I first read it in my third year of studying French, and while I found it to be difficult at the time, I was surprised by how much I recognized and was able to understand. All in all, in English or in French, this book is a classic for a reason, and I would encourage everyone to discover its spell for themselves. ## Frequently Bought Together - Le Petit Prince (French Language Edition) - Short Stories in French for Beginners (Teach Yourself Short Stories) - French Short Stories: Thirty French Short Stories for Beginners to Improve your French Vocabulary (French Stories for Beginners and Intermediates) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/244988-le-petit-prince-french-the-timeless-classic-with-a-touch](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/244988-le-petit-prince-french-the-timeless-classic-with-a-touch) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
