The Little Prince Deluxe Edition (Mariner Classics)

Review Quotes:

"A lovely story. .. which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy--not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence." - New York Times Book Review
