I read the book the first time when I was 10 years old and reread it a few times later on.
Saint-Exupéry wrote it as a children book but it is actually meant for all ages, at each stage of life one can find new meanings with all the marvelous insights of life, love and various relationships as narrative quotes and the author's own personal experiences as a pilot. Each reader's imagination will experience vivid images from all the characters and Le Petit Prince's adventures throughout the book. From the Prince's tiny planet to a pilot stranded in the African desert, the story unfolds with all the meetings along the way with flowers, snakes, adults and of course the Fox as the Prince tells his remarkable tale of his travels to the pilot. Saint-Exupéry unique style makes it a joy to read with lots of metaphors about the adult world incomprehensible to children, some of them quite humorous and of course true! Imagination without boundaries would summarize the book.
Highly recommended reading, a favorite bedtime story book for the young and not so young as the Fox would say :)
