"The Little Prince" is a fantasy book that everyone should read, even if you're at age 100. Its plot, nature and atmosphere is far different from any fantasy we're used to, but once you start reading it, you will be amazed to see what happens in this story. It starts off with a pilot's crash in the Sahara where he meets a little boy who is a prince, who is the main focus of the story. The boy tells the pilot that he comes the planet Asteroid 325 and how he cared for the planet and his bond for a rose he loved which was shattered by a lie. After that, the prince went on a journey to six different planets and meets a few mysterious odd people and learns about their strange behaviors and purposes in their lives. Then throughout the journey, the little prince comes to Earth, but then still wonders about his rose he left behind. This story let me wonder about many thoughts, about how one certain thing can keep you thinking. We don't get things like dragons, knights with swords, or even a fantasy, but what we get is something one of a kind. Readers will find it a heartfelt story, while others might find it confusing, but "The Little Prince" is definitely something out of this world.. Katherine Woods' simple and beautiful translation is the only one that does justice to The Little Prince. Her translation is the essential translation loved and quoted by English-speaking people around the world. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of this timeless story.
