desertcart.com: The Little Prince: 9780156012195: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Richard Howard: Books Review: For everyone who likes The Little Prince. - Lovely' is the word I’d use to describe this MinaLima edition. I’m a huge fan of their work; the care and attention they put into their books is so clear. This version of The Little Prince is simply magical. I highly recommend it! Review: I loved this book with it's sweetness - First, it amazes me that this book is in so many different languages, and has such a following, but I have never had the inclination to read it until I read The Book Jumper. I loved this book with it's sweetness, insight, and charm. The Little Prince leaves his very small planet that he is from and the flower that he has tended to go on an adventure to learn new things and make friends. He visits several planets, but cannot make sense of them. Each one has a character with an attribute that can often be found in adults and the world. As Exupery has his fun with these characters, the little prince moves toward new adventures. On earth, he meets a pilot that he talks to. The two talk about Earth, his world, and the flower he left behind, whom he misses deeply. In his travels here The Little Prince sees other flowers like his- roses- but realizes that they aren't as special. He also finds a friend in a fox that he tames and grows to love and care for. I found this small book profound in that, at least to me, it reminds us of the things that we care about. The relationships we create are what makes things special and important. He missed his friend the rose so much that he found a way to return to his planet a year after leaving. It reminded me to take time to tend to my own special things, and be aware of the loved ones I have. To allow time for magic, and not take my adult self too very seriously. In this way, though it is written for children, I feel that adults need to reread this too. Plus, it is just a great story. Five stars! Now, this book is so popular that not only did it get translated into 300 languages and has had at least two authors write stories to take place later with The Little Prince. The Little Prince Returns was written by Jean-Pierre Davidts where a shipwrecked narrator finds The Little Prince on a deserted island. Ysatis de Saint Simone (niece of Consuelo de Saint Exupery) wrote one entitled The Return of The Little Prince. There were movie adaptations, stage plays, opera, anime, pop-up books and graphic novels (I have to find this!) It has it's own swag-bags, socks, toys and adult coloring book. Honestly, this is not just a book, it's a following! I am not ashamed to say that I am a bit obsessed. Thank goodness I took the time to read this one. As there is no real adult content (one planet has a drunk), I would say that this book is for everyone. Have you read it?

Consider the box set if you’re a bit OCD
Great translation but I ordered several and two of them had the corners of the books a little dented because they don’t come protected in a box. If that is a concern, get the other box set. Around like $25 with the Ros Schwartz translation and I’ve heard that one has captured the lyrical and spirit of the original french writing. The one I purchased is Mariner and I believe Richard Howard. Seems like his translation is the easiest to understand. There are people that believe the Katherine Woods is the only legitimate version but I think it’s cause it is from THEIR childhood and it sounds old and verbose. There’s another really pretty box set that is $90 but that is a very different gift and I don’t know who did that translation.

A Wonderful Book for All Ages
Can you see with your heart? This is a wonderful, entertaining, very readable and mercifully short book. It's practically art rendered in words. The punchline (or at least my take on the book) is simple but worth remembering frequently. Can you see with your heart?

The best gift for adults and for kids
This our favorite philosophy book, good for adults, perfect for kids. The deluxe edition is the best and it was intended for a gift to a little girl. The present was accepted with great appreciation. I recommend this edition, sold for a very proper price!
