The Little Prince
Antoine De Saint-Exupery, Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Hardcover
(BN Publishing, Dec. 14, 2010)
The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy. The author pokes similar fun at a businessman, a geographer, and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult existence.
