“See with your heart and not your eyes” is a famous bit of advice from The Little Prince. An author setting himself up as some kind of guru is always vulnerable to the fact that changing circumstances eventually make a nonsense of any advice. So what to do? One answer might be to view The Little Prince not as a work of spiritual guidance, but as a story, which is what it is. Conversely, seeing the book as nothing more than the hallucinogenic whimsy of an exhausted pilot probably wouldn’t be right either, bearing in mind that The Little Prince has sold hundreds of millions of copies, and enjoyed extensive critical appreciation devoted to its deeper meanings. It’s like failing the snake test and seeing a boring old hat. The problem is, given the book’s fanciful tone, such an earnest reading seems wrong. The description of these characters might set me thinking about various topics, from materialism to the nature of power. How should I react to an odd story of a pilot who crash lands in the Sahara and meets a boy from outer space? This extraterrestrial boy reaches Earth via tiny asteroids variously populated by a king with no subjects, a drinker who drinks because he is ashamed of drinking, a business man setting about owning the stars, a vain man with no one to praise him but himself, a geographer who doesn’t know where anything is, and a lamp lighter who has to light and extinguish his lamps every few seconds on his minuscule world. Boring old adults, glancing at the narrow head and tail of the snake with a big lump in the middle, see a hat.įor me, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novella gave rise to concerns about passing the snake test. This assessment involves a picture of a snake which has recently swallowed an elephant. The Little Prince opens with the author’s test to differentiate an enlightened child-like imagination from that of a serious-minded adult. The Little Prince is a story for everyone, for children and grown-up children, for kings, geographers and lamp-lighters, even for the very serious and the very wise. Master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse, has translated what is for him 'one of the greatest stories ever written' so that more English readers might discover the joy of reading this enchanting fable. But the Prince has left behind a flower growing on his star, a rose which is his treasure and his burden, and before long he must return to it.

The Little Prince journeys to our planet from his home among the stars, encountering all sorts of benighted grown-ups along the way, and a fox, who teaches him how to see the important things in life. He has captured the hearts of millions around the world since his story first appeared in 1943, written down by an aristocratic French aviator who soon after disappeared during a flight across the sea. He is the Little Prince, the mysterious, innocent and beautiful boy who appears to a pilot stranded in the desert and makes an extraordinary request. If a little fellow comes along, if he laughs, if he has golden hair, and if he never answers questions, then you will know who he is. Grant, with an introduction read by Michael Morpurgo.
