Amazon.co.uk Review
You could be excused for thinking that this book is one containing a simple story for young children about a Little Prince. How wrong you would be! This is far from the truth: it is much more. It is a complex story containing lots of ambiguities about a child with golden hair. These are all eruditely discussed before the actual story begins, in a section entitled "How It All Began". "Is The Little Prince a story written for children or is it a meditation intended for adults?"
The Art of Living is discussed, along with a system of values, and the train of thought behind them is the unifying element. You are invited to "look at the book, and allow yourself to travel from one image to the next... " It was written and published more than 50 years ago in the USA, and the author was a Frenchman who illustrated the book himself; it was later translated by Kathryn Woods. The Little Prince is still very popular and has now been translated into many languages. Shortly after it was first written, the author died--disappearing together with his plane somewhere over the Mediterranean.

Wow - a little book registered from Santa in the North Pole.

Thanks heaps Microsquid for this christmas surprise, and the fabulous book marks. Nollaig Shona

I read this straight away, and have read it an number of times since.

I really like the gentle story and so am going to keep this book for a while.

I also like the fact I can now more easily draw sheep, having followed the instructions given by the Little Prince.
