One of the most-translated book in the world
It was voted the best book of the 20th century in France
Translated into more than 250 languages and dialects

A poetic tale of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss,
with watercolour illustrations by the author,
in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets
a young alien prince fallen to Earth from a tiny asteroid

The story, though ostensibly styled as a children's book
is philosophical and includes social criticism,
making several observations about life and human nature
and remarking on the strangeness of the adult world.
