AN ABSOLUTE MBR! I have read this book three times, once when I was a little girl, than in 6th grade and later when I was 22. Like the narrator in "The Little Prince," St-Exupery was a pilot as well.
The story can be viewed in two parts. First one is more like a description of the world that the author had perceived when he was a child. That is a manifest in which we find that children are blessed because of their imagination and simplicity. The other part of the story tells about Little Prince on the Sahara desert trying to fix his plane. There is the most beautiful description of love and friendship. And fear for life as well. He becomes friend with a little wise fox, who possesses the secret of life..
A book that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. That is a real classic.
