It's April 1943
and author and illustrator
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
released Le Petit Prince,
or, as you may know it as,
The Little Prince.
Fast forward 73 years,
to 2016,
and the book has been
translated into over
250 languages,
making it the fourth most
translated book ever.
Acting as a novella
as well as
a self-help book
for stray souls trying to find
their way
as well as
a wisdom-filled guide
for adults who have forgotten
how to dream.
From a novella
in 1943 to countless
adaptations throughout
the years,
the most recent and relevant
additions are both
which everyone needs
for their coffee table,
and the 2015 feature film,
The Little Prince,
which meshes 3D animation
with stop motion animation
for a truly riveting experience.
So please,
as the months grow
colder and the nights
grow longer,
embrace The Little Prince
and remember how to be
a kid again if only
for a bit longer.
