Si Pangeran Kecil

This book is an Indonesian translation of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince).

It is a poetic tale, with watercolour illustrations by the author, in which a pilot stranded in the desert meets a young prince fallen to Earth from a tiny asteroid.

The story is philosophical and includes social criticism, remarking on the strangeness of the adult world.

It was written during a dark, restless, but productive period for Saint-Exupery after he fled to North America subsequent to the Fall of France during the Second World War.
