Claude Werth talks to us about his father and Saint-Exupéry
This weekend, we are looking back to another of our favourite interviews on the subject of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The story of The Little Prince was dedicated to Léon Werth, art critic, writer and, above all, friend of Saint-Exupéry. In 2010, his son, Claude Werth, kindly agreed to share with us some of his childhood memories of meeting Saint-Exupéry. The first encounter between his father and Saint-Exupéry, the magic tricks Antoine de Saint-Exupéry would perform, the notes he left for Léon Werth in the form of drawings, a child’s first experience of flying aboard the famous Simoun, the dedication of The Little Prince… all the memories are there.
