Everyone knows that Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote The Little Prince. Fewer know that Antoine, Tonio to his family, is a character worth a great story of his own. Fatherless, he spends a happy childhood in the château of Saint-Maurice-de-Rémens, loved, celebrated and wrapped in an almost obsessive love for his mother, a childhood that clings to him all his life, ever since he watched his younger brother die. It follows him when he begins to fly as a civil and military pilot, when he falls in love many times, when he moves to America and when he writes, in a portrait of a man both tender and spoilt, dreamy and domineering.
