French pioneer aviator, author, philosopher, enigmatic war hero, and tempestuous, unfaithful lover. A fascinating life story.
His most famous work is “The Little Prince”. Over 300 translations have been made of this work, of which there are seven english language. Michael Morpurgo being the latest english language translator.
However, the story has many references to St Exupéry’s own life, particularly his plane crash in the desert, and the rose that the little prince tends is really thought to be his wife Consuelo. But he had so much more to offer than this story.
