I've always wanted to read this, despite not knowing what it was about. I had ill luck in trying to get a copy until one day a family friend handed one to me so suddenly and here, tonight, I could finally get to know the little Prince.
It was a strange, bittersweet book of looking at life through a child's lens. It was fascinating to hear a story with such innocence that you can only get when you shed off your adult clothes and sit on the floor like how you used to as a child.
The little Prince with his wheat coloured hair, his peals of laughter, his insistent questions, and recounting all his adventures on different planets, and eventually: teaching you the secrets of life.
I was devastated by the end of it. It's one of those books where you'll need to read and reread, and to remind yourself of the simple pleasures of life.
