Moral allegory and spiritual autobiography, The Little Prince is the most translated book in the French language. With a timeless charm it tells the story of a little boy who leaves the safety of his own tiny planet to travel the universe, learning the vagaries of adult behaviour through a series of extraordinary encounters. His personal odyssey culminates in a voyage to Earth and further adventures.
I feel like I would feel something different each time I read this. There are many different lessons and wisdoms to learn and what you focus on would depend on your mood or situation at that time.
I'm going to make sure my son has a copy of this book, to remind him to keep his childlike wonder as he grows up.
