Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. 'In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey,' the narrator recalls. 'Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket.' And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cobham Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55490869035394,"sku":"9780241508664","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4567\/2367\/files\/9780241508664.jpg?v=1753735037","url":"https:\/\/www.cobhambooks.live\/products\/9780241508664","provider":"Cobham Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
