The serious blonde little boy asks to draw him a sheep. The narrator consents to the strange fellow’s request. They soon become friends and the Little Prince informs the pilot that he is from a small planet, the asteroid 325, talks to him about the baobabs, his planet volcanoes and the mysterious rose that grew on his planet. He also talks to him about their friendship and the lie that evoked his journey to other planets.

A book about both childhood and adulthood, it can be read as a parable, a war story, a classic children’s fairy-tale, and many more things besides: The Little Prince is a book for everyone; after all, all grown-ups were children once.
