About this ebook
As one of the most translated books in the world, and possibly the most popular children's book,
The Little Prince holds a unique place in the world of literature. With guidance from the original
watercolors, the story is straightforward. A young traveler visits several planets, including earth.
On these planets he meets grownups, who don't make sense, and eventually the author, who has
crash-landed in the Sahara desert. Along the way he makes friends and discovers the meaning
of love. Throughout are the themes of imagination, loneliness, and remembrance. With clear and
succinct prose that hews to the original while avoiding becoming awkward and obscure, after
80 years, this new translation makes the work come alive.

My mom read me this book when I was little, it's one of her favorites. I re-read it as part of the current Goodreads Reading Challenge. I'm glad I did, there's so much about it that I either didn't remember or didn't understand as a child. This book is, at it's core, really about how the most important things in life are intangible: love, laughter, friendship, memories, etc. and how adults often forget what is really important.

No doubt it is a must-read book and preferably when being an adult. Very easy and simple but, at the same time, full of cruel criticism about the human kind nature despite it's been written around 40 years ago!
