My book, The Return of The Little Prince, is a sequel to the marvelous and whimsical story of my uncle Antoine De Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince, where myth and poetry mix with reality and speak to us of the eternal in such an innocent manner.

Both his story and mine are true. They are real stories of a quest to find that invisible spark of life which gives meaning to all there is. I learned the story from within, it was my aunt Consuelo De Saint-Exupery, an extraordinary person and the inspiration of Saint-Ex, the Rose of his story, who taught me to read, not only French in The Little Prince, but the essence of it as well.

She talked to me about Saint-Ex, his dream world, of his airplane flights, of his moonstruck reveries, his airplane falls and the spirit that helped him survive them! Everything in that book was an integral part of what later happened to me and helped me to find that secret that now illumines my life. I remember. Later on, I learned that many others also did; it was, I believe, the bedside book of James Dean.

I never knew him personally, but I read in an interview of a movie magazine that he said The Little Prince was his Bible. What I loved best was the invisible hidden in between such simple words and its childlike drawings, for concealed behind the fairytale there was a road map to a true spiritual experience. Whenever I read the last page of my uncle's book, I was moved by his sadness and felt a sense of urgency within me to find that lonely star landscape.

Consequently, since early in life, I learned to close my eyes, open my heart and. This tale is the fruit of my search. It has a happy ending as all good fairy tales have, for it happened that one day. I found the Little Prince! Thus, I wrote this book, both as a direct answer to my uncle's plea, to share the good news with all those who love The Little Prince and as an invitation to quest to all those who long to find their reality. I have followed the same format of my uncle's book and also utilized the same style of drawings, wrapping my own story of how I searched and found the Little Prince with as much similarity as possible to that of his book, for a very good reason: I couldn't have done it in any other way, for I have loved The Little Prince since I was a child.

My reason has been one of love, not arrogance, so please exempt me from the harshness of comparison if you are inclined to do so. This commemorative kit includes: 3" light-up collectible of the Prince's cherished rose, set under a clear dome and on a base bearing the story's most famous quote: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Antoine dreamed of flying and grew up to be a pilot—and that was when his adventures began.

He found a job delivering mail by plane, which had never been done before. He and his fellow pilots traveled to faraway places and discovered new ways of getting from one place to the next.

Antoine flew over mountains and deserts. He battled winds and storms. He tried to break aviation records, and sometimes he even crashed. From his plane, Antoine looked down on the earth and was inspired to write about his life and his pilot-hero friends in memoirs and in fiction. This classic, beloved tale is reimagined as a beautiful, padded board book, with original illustrations and a playful, sweet design.

He loves to watch sunsets and look after his flower, to ask questions and to laugh. And now here he is on Earth, appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the desert, looking for a friend. The friend he finds is the narrator of this story — a pilot who has crash landed and is in grave danger of dying of thirst. Set in days of chivalry, this is a natural and supernatural tale of a princess, prince, and an evil uncle.

Goodness prevails in the end. A boy is lost in a jungle and natives steel his clothes. His adventure turns to understanding and acceptance of his new companions.

John Webb. It features young children in the most unusual yet fun flying shop. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown - ups were not able to understand it , I made another drawing : I drew the inside of a boa constrictor , so that the grown - ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. The grown - ups ' response , this time , was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors , whether from the inside or the outside , and devote myself instead to geography , history , arithmetic , and grammar.

That is why , at the age of six , I gave up what might have been a magnificent career as a painter. Grown - ups never understand anything by themselves , and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

So then I chose another profession , and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world ; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me.
