The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The Hound Of Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Little Prince is a timeless story that appeals to both children and adults. On one level, it's the story of an airman discovering a small boy from another planet and his stories of intergalactic travel in the desert, and on the other, it's a thought-provoking allegory of the human condition.

This translation, first published in 1943, the year before the author's death in action, includes Saint-delightful Exupery's illustrations.
