The Little Prince

This beloved, world-famous allegorical classic about a young prince on a quest for knowledge is an essential read for every home library.

Combining Richard Howard's translation with restored original full-color art, this definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. When a pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert, he meets a little boy who asks him to draw a sheep. Gradually the Little Prince reveals more about himself: He comes from a small asteroid, where he lived alone until a rose grew there.

But the rose grew demanding, and he was confused by his feelings about her. The story unfolds further from one planet to the next in a thoughtful philosophical exploration of love and the ephemeral.

The main take aways I got from this book were to appreciate the experiences of life. Look at what I have and what is around me. I don't think you really need to be a child to understand or follow this lesson. In fact I know quite a few children who are too busy to appreciate what they are exposed to either. I also have looked at many of my childhood experiences and realized I didn't fully what was happening until I reflected back on them as an adult, I was unable to appreciate them basically since I didn't have that frame of reference.

Something I should’ve read a long time ago but never did. And that sucks, since it feels like it didn't affect me as much as it should have. It was heartwarming, sweet, and beautiful nonetheless, but sadly, not my type of literature even though I can appreciate this book for what it is and can see why this is so close to many people's hearts.
