Read the English version yesterday :P 27 chapters, 47 drawings, 109 pages.

A gentle book, hilghlighting a few of the major chracteristics prevalent in many "adults" .
Characteristics that help mess up the planet and help shut out creativity and inocence and
.... pure love.

I have ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and I am looking forward to reading it. I have read such good reviews about The Little Prince. Of course only reading the book because JMJ may/is dedicating the new studio album to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. :D :wink:

I have to read it in Frensh this year. I read it in Dutch about 5 years ago.

I would read it if indeed JMJ would dedicate his new album to him...

It's good for your frensh. And it is not a very tough book, so also read it if JMJ doesn't decide his album to the Little prince.

I wanted to find out why after The Bible & Das Kapital it was the most read book.

Also reading a few of the quotes of Exupéry online made me very curious and hopeful about the book.

... it looks like Saint Exupery is getting a few more readers...... 8) :wink:

@bangers n mash - as you seemed to like "The Little Prince ", perhaps I could recomend some of Saint Exupery's other books ? ( in English translation, of course 8) ) - Southern Mail/Night Flight, Wind, Sand and Stars and Flight to Arras.
Also there is another book similar in spirit to " The Little Prince " by Richard Bach - it is called "Jonathan Livingston Seagull: A Story ". It might be a bit too New Age/Hippy-like in its message for some, but I liked it..... :oops: :)

Hm :( I don't like reading on the screen, and printing is also not a very good option.
