From lessons on kindness to caring for our environment, the messages in this enchanting fable are still relevant. The Little Prince has captured the hearts of readers around the world since it was first copyrighted in 1943. First published in the United States, it was banned in France until 1946 because Antoine de Saint-Exupery was exiled by the French government.  It has further been censored in schools and libraries  because parents felt it was too dark and frightening for children.  If you celebrate the freedom to read, this is a novel you want on your library shelf.
