Barnes & NobleThe Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

This Story Will Linger With You...

A lone pilot crashes his plane in the Sahara Desert and is stranded with barely enough drinking water for a week. After an attempt at the repairs, he falls asleep in the sand and awakens at sunrise to the voice of a young boy who asks the pilot to draw him a sheep... "The Little Prince" holds its allure in the magic of reading or listening to it for the first time. This was my first venture inside the covers of this delightful book, which is written as an allegory, using symbolism with every object and character. It's the type of story you'll think about and discover more and more within as you do. It's classified as a children's story, but there's enough for adults to ponder, too. I read a Kindle copy while listening to the audiobook narrated by Stephanie Richardson, whose voicing and recounting give an animated feel to the story. "The Little Prince" explores themes of curiosity and wonder, searching for meaning and purpose, the value of relationships, and much more. Right off the bat, you'll find a contrast between adulthood and childhood, and that's just the beginning. I love books that linger with you long after the story ends, don't you? 5⭐
