| Summary |
"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 "byordinary" beginning, to 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 "mare" 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 very thing 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." -- Provided by publisher. |
