Il Piccolo Principe (Tunué)

Young Antoine draws a picture that adults mistake for a hat: nobody sees that it is a snake that has swallowed an elephant. Years later, now an aviator, he crash-lands in the Sahara and, while trying to repair his plane, meets a very special child who tells him his story. He is a little prince, the only inhabitant of a tiny planet with three volcanoes and a rose. Driven by curiosity he said goodbye to his rose and travelled the universe, meeting a lonely king, a vain man and a businessman who counted the stars. On Earth a snake and a fox finally help him understand that what is essential is invisible to the eye. A comic adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's novel, written by Andrea Laprovitera and drawn by Alessandro Germani, for the children of yesterday and today. Hardcover volume, 176 pages, 14x20.5 cm, published by Tunué in the Tipitondi series. Text in Italian.
