Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince (trans. Katherine Woods)
After trying to review this book in my usual way, I’ve given it up as a lost cause. So I will just say that this classic children’s fable about a stranded pilot and a little boy from another planet is a wonderful read, for adults as well as for children. It’s full of allegories and lessons for attentive readers, from the folly of greed to the power of friendship. I’m sorry I never read this as a child, but I still found it incredibly touching and moving — the perfect book for a winter’s evening!

I remember loving this book and I’m sure it should be read at different ages to get the full effect. I can understand why it would be nearly impossible to review. Glad you loved it.
Yes, I definitely think it should be read at various stages of life — I’m sure I’d get something new out of it each time!
