  • The Little Prince

    Antoine De Saint-Exupery

    Paperback (Rupa Publications, Sept. 10, 2018)
    One of the most published and translated books in the world, The Little Prince fascinates the reader with its story of a pilot marooned in the Sahara after something goes wrong with his plane, and a little man with golden hair who has ‘fallen’ to earth by chance. As the pilot tries to repair his plane, the little man requests him to draw a sheep as well as a box to keep the sheep in, so that it may not harm a flower he cares for—and therein begins a friendship that leads us to re-examine the many things we take for granted in our everyday life. Part fantasy, part fable, this is written as much for children as for adults, bringing home the message ‘what is essential, is invisible to the eye’.

And will he ever realize that his students deserve a lot more than they’ve been getting from him?Scroll to the top and get “Mr. Pizza” now. You’ll be glad you did.
