"The Little Prince" is much more than a children's book. In my opinion, it's actually much easier to understand as a grown-up.
The Little Prince would resent my saying that.
In this delicately written, fable-like tale, there is a little Prince who one day falls to Earth from a far-away planet, and meets a grown-up. Like all grown-ups, this one just doesn't understand anything. So the Little Prince explains it to him: how to count stars, why roses have thorns, and what it means to be loved. As he teaches the grown-up - a pilot stranded in the desert - about life, he offers bits of wisdom and poignant quotes that will resonate long after you finish the book. "It is such a secret place, the Land of Tears," he says regarding weeping.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, "The Little Prince" is a cherished classic that deserves a small space on your bookshelf.
