He spent 27 months in the US and during this time he wrote the The Little Prince as a children’s book, as well as two other books. Saint-Exupery who was also a pilot in France traveled to the United States at the end of 1940 to try to persuade the US government to join the war against Germany. Written in 1942 Saint-Exupery wrote the story while he was living in New York. It is one of those stories that resonates differently every time that you read it. The Little Prince is considered a classic and has been translated into over 300 languages. While high school was a little bit farther back for me than I like to admit, The Little Prince is a book that I have reread many times since then. Anyone who took French in high school, like Suzanne and I did, might be familiar with The Little Prince as I’m pretty sure it is required reading for all high school French students.
