Soar through the skies with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in this captivating tale of friendship, adventure, and the power of the written word. In the 1920s, long before he wrote The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was an accomplished pilot. Along with Jean Mermoz and Henri Guillaumet, he was chosen to pioneer new mail routes across the globe. No distance was too far and no mountain too high—each letter had to reach its destination. The three friends soared through the air, while back on solid ground, they dealt with a world torn apart by wars and political factions. Prince of the Skies is a gripping narrative that pays homage to an unforgettable writer who touched the lives of millions of readers, and who was able to see the world through the eyes of a child. This historical fiction adventure brings to life the early days of aviation and the experiences that shaped Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's life and his beloved classic, The Little Prince. |
