A gripping narrative of friendship and exploration, and an homage to
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, an unforgettable writer who touched the lives
of millions of readers, and who was able to see the world through the
eyes of a child.
In the 1920s, long before he wrote The Little Prince, Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry was an accomplished pilot. Along with Jean Mermoz and
Henri Guillaumet, he was chosen to pioneer new mail routes across the
globe. No distance was too far and no mountain too high--each letter had
to reach its destination. The three friends soared through the air,
while back on solid ground, they dealt with a world torn apart by wars
and political factions.
