About the Book

Antoine de Saint-Exupery was born in France in 1900, when aeroplanes were just being invented. He always dreamt of flying, and when he became a pilot as a young man, his adventures truly began. He was one of the first pilots to deliver mail by plane and, along with his fellow pilots, helped to create new routes to faraway places. Antoine flew over mountains and deserts, battled winds and storms, and even tried to break aviation records. He also crashed a number of times. From his plane he reflected on life on the earth and in the skies, and this inspired him to write about his experiences. Peter Sis's remarkable biography celebrates the author of The Little Prince, one of the world's most beloved books.

Review :
Internationally acclaimed illustrator, filmmaker, painter, and author Peter Sís is a genius. That wordmay be overused to be almost meaningless, but I have no other explanation for the seemingly endlessdepths of his fertile imagination. There is a breathtaking magic in the young Peter Sís. How did that happen is a mystery to me, but it isa fact. Enter his world and see. A fascinating book, THE PILOT AND THE LITTLE PRINCE invites big kids (literal and metaphorical) to take the time... to dig in its pages ... to lose oneself in delicate drawings, dreamlike and peppered with sly winks. A sumptuous allegory, magnificently drawn, by another poet who has wandered far from his home in order to find his own horizon. Sís's works are less picture books than little miracles of design... A compelling, multilayered visual treat Sís's handling of the aviator's last flight and disappearance strikes just the right notes of mystery, majesty and quiet wonder. Brilliant bookmaking Extraordinary and wonderful The Pilot and the Little Prince is a thing of beauty for both eye and spirit Sís spared no detail in his stunning 48-page picture book biography, which, like its inspiration, can be read on many levels As always, Sís's illustrations are all just so spot on and exquisitely expressive
