Bookroo's summary

On a tiny planet, a prince tends to his volcanoes and a proud flower. As he journeys to other worlds, he encounters rulers burdened by trivialities. Through his innocent eyes, he learns that the simplest things hold the greatest importance. Will he find what truly matters in the vast universe?

From the publisher

Look at my planet. It is directly above us. But how far away it is! Celebrating the 80th anniversary of one of the most famous stories in the world, a beautiful Puffin paperback edition translated from the original French by Theo Cuffe. The timeless, enchanting story of the little prince who lives on a tiny planet with three volcanoes and a haughty flower, which he must protect from the baobabs, the bad seeds. The rulers of the other planets he visits all suffer from the cares and stupidities of the everyday world. Only the little prince, through his clear, loving eyes, knows that the simplest of things can be of the utmost importance. Translated by T. V. F. Cuffe, and with the original illustrations, the story is complete and unabridged.
