Saint-Exupérys Vater starb, als Antoine vier Jahre alt war. Umso stärker wurde die Liebe zu seiner Mutter - einer vom Leben geprüften Frau, die für jede Art von geistiger Betätigung offen war.Die Briefe wurden geschrieben zwischen Juni 1910, als Antoine 10 Jahre alt war, und Juli 1944, kurz vor seinem Tod. Die meisten stammen aus seiner Jugendzeit. Sie werfen deshalb ein neues Licht besonders auf diese Zeit des Lebens des Verfassers, die durch seine Werke ansonsten weniger bekannt ist.Die Briefsammlung wird von Marie de Saint-Exupéry, der Mutter Antoines, eingeführt.
