| 520 | |a "Little Antoine grew up in Lyon, France. Ever since his first flight as a young boy, he dreamed of becoming a pilot. When he joined the French army during WWI, he finally got his chance. He spent a short time in the Air Force before leaving to become a mail pilot, all the while writing about his adventures. However, in 1935, he crashed in the desert during a flight from Paris to Saigon. With little food and water to hand, he became very ill. Fortunately, after four days, he was found by a passerby and nursed back to health. This experience influenced much of Antoine's future writing. In WWII, he moved to the United States, where he campaigned for France's freedom from Nazism. During this period, he wrote the Little Prince, a captivating story of love and loss, which went on to become one of the best-selling children's books of all time. This powerful book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos, and a detailed profile of the writer's life."-- |c Amazon website. | ||
