The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I am ashamed to admit that I have never read this classic little book.  Considered a children’s book, I think it should be read by all adults.  There is just so much here to ponder and contemplate.  I sat down to read this 90 page illustrated story, figured it would take about an hour and I closed the back cover three hours later.  This story is philosophical musing couched in a delightful story of an aviator who has crash landed in the desert and the small young prince of a distant planet whom he meets.  A must read for anyone of any age.
