Publisher’s Description
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.
Quotes from the little prince
The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.
All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.
It is such a mysterious place, the land of tears.
Well, I must endure the presence of a few caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies.
