Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was born in France in 1900, when
airplanes were just being invented. 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. Peter Sís’s remarkable biography
celebrates the author of The Little Prince, one of the most
beloved books in the world.
