Katherine Woods translation A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. ‘Please,’ asks the stranger, ‘draw me a sheep.’ And the pilot realizes that when life’s events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper… And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers. A timeless classic, few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince, and this Bolinda edition makes the perfect audio companion for all ages.

Format:Paperback
"The Little Prince" is the heart-warming story of a child in search of happiness on a planet without love. -- I bought this book as a gift and I am very pleased. I found it interesting even for an adult. The book is recommened for 9-12 year olds but is fine for a little older child. I highly recommened this book. *****
By Ankur Gupta
Format:Paperback
I read this book to my 4 year old. As I read it on most nights I learn so much about adult behaviour than I had bargained for. Sometimes I embarass myself about adult behaviour.
This classic is a must read. I have never read a book for grownups which have pictures next to text. Why don't adults write like Antoine De Saint-Exupery?
Format:Paperback
This book was kind of strange, and I didn't really understand it at first. Later in the book, though, I realized that it was about grownups, and how they are always so busy with life, and they never really sit back and enjoy it, and see it from a child's perspective. Figuring out the message was more fun than reading the book, though.

Avoid the new translation!!
Please don't be duped into buying the dreadful new translation. The original Katherine Woods translation is poetic and graceful, full of delightful and memorable phrases. Read more

That which is essential is invisible to the eye.........
I never expected to be so moved by such a small tale. Read it, and share it....it contains the most beautiful life lessons to be passed along.
