The Little Prince first published in 1943, is a novella and the most famous work by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. They answered me: "Why should any one be frightened by a hat?" - My drawing was not a picture of a hat.
