Synopsis

“Bairns,” I beseek ye, “tak tent o the baobabs!”
In the middle of the Sahara, a thoosand mile frae onie hoose or hame, a stranded pilot meets a young stravaiger from another planet, who asks him to draw a picture of a sheep. From this byordinar beginning, an unbreakable friendship forms, as the enigmatic Wee Prince reveals the secrets of his dowff an dowie life, his fondness for sundouns, his love for a wondrous bonnie but fykie rose - and his need for a sheep to keep the michty baobabs at bay!

First published in 1943, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s moving and poetic tale is both timeless and timely, with its message that the things that really matter in life - the muckle maitters - are takkin guid tent of your hame planet, and cultivating the deep ties of friendship and love. Susan Rennie’s Scots translation perfectly captures the poetry and poignancy of the original and will be appreciated by both bairns and grown-ups alike.
