What is The
Little Prince?
The Little Prince is a book
written by the French author, journalist, and pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
It was written in 1943, one year before his death. Is it the most well
known of his novels. From the outside it appears to be a simple
children’s tale. The Little Prince is actually a profound and deeply
moving book written in riddles and laced with philosophy and poetic
metaphors. The book has been translated into many languages from the
original French version. It was also made into a play and a movie, and
the children’s cable channel Nickelodeon in America ran a cartoon series
in the mid-80s based upon the prince, his rose, and his adventures.
Remember “What is essential is invisible to the eye”
