Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. The Little Prince is a poetic and warm fairy tale which has been translated into over 100 languages and with a sales volume only next to the Bible. It tells my encounter with a strange but pure-hearted little prince who comes from a remote asteroid and has visited six asteroids inhabited by a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a merchant and a geographer, respectively. Through the journeys of the little prince, the author insinuates the absurdity and hypocrisy of the adult world with a plot with twists and turns and poetic and philosophical language.
