在聖艾修伯里的作品中，最膾炙人口的就是《小王子》。在當時，此書被譽為二十世紀除了聖經與回教的可蘭經外，最廣為世人閱讀的書籍。當今法國政府更以此書為榮，發行五十法郎的小王子紙幣，以及紀念作者逝世五十週年的小王子郵票、明信片。在網際網路中，也有小王子的專屬網站，造成二十世紀末另一波「小王子旋風」。 　　　　在想像力瀕臨枯竭，生命價值模糊的成人世界裡，《小王子》猶如一脈清泉，灌溉你我乾涸的心靈。作者聖艾修伯里，以童話式的筆觸，闡述含意深遠的哲理寓言。書中，小王子天真浪漫卻富含深意的對話，讓久居樊籠的我們，尋回兒時純真的夢想、樸實無偽的友誼；喚醒深陷世俗囹圄而不自覺的心靈，與生命中最寶貴，卻最易被忽略、遺忘的真情
