Little Antoine, who grew up in Lyon, France, aspired to be a pilot from a young age. After joining the French military and briefly serving in the Air Force, he became a mail pilot while documenting his experiences. In 1935, he crashed in the desert during a flight, surviving on minimal resources until rescued days later, an ordeal that deeply influenced his later writings. During World War II, he relocated to the United States, advocating for France’s liberation from Nazi occupation. It was during this time that he wrote “The Little Prince,” which has become one of the best-selling children’s books in history.

Little Antoine grew up in Lyon, France. Ever since he was a young boy, he dreamt of becoming a pilot. He soon joined the French military where he finally got his chance to learn. 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 bestselling children’s books of all time.
