THE LITTLE PRINCE

One of the most published and
translated books in the world, The Little Prince fascinates the reader with
its story of a pilot marooned in the Sahara after something goes wrong with
his plane, and a little man with golden hair who has ‘fallen’ to earth by
chance.As the pilot tries to repair his plane, the little man requests him to
draw a sheep as well as a box to keep the sheep in, so that it may not harm a
flower he cares for—and therein begins a friendship that leads us to
re-examine the many things we take for granted in our everyday life.Part
fantasy, part fable, this is written as much for children as for adults,
bringing home the message ‘what is essential, is invisible to the eye’.
