Purchase options and add-ons

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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best translation. Period.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    The Little Prince is a treasure from my childhood and, as an adult, I continue to learn from it. Though I may be biased because it was the version I grew up with, I also grew up to be an English teacher, and the Katherine Woods translation cannot be matched in its beauty. When the more modern translation became popular, I had a hard time finding books in the Katherine Woods translation, which I liked to give as gifts. Imagine my joy upon seeing this translation pop back up again because of its anniversary. I wanted to give this book as gifts to the students in my Writer's Workshop class, and I was thrilled to find this version. This pocket classic version may not have the best picture quality; if you're looking for great picture quality, spend the money on a hardback. But if you're looking for a publication that is nice enough yet economical enough to give as a gift for students, this is a good option. The translation is more important to me than the images. This pocket version is allowing me to pass this beautiful text along to another generation, and I hope it means as much to some of them as it has meant to me.

    I love this book and it’s a quick read. The hardcover is a beautiful addition to my book collection but it’s smaller than I expected. However, I didn’t actually check the dimensions before I bought it and was surprised at how small it was. I looked at the pictures but didn’t realize how small it would be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Miracle! For all Ages!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Wow! At 50 years old, I read it for the first time, and every page "blew my mind" with wisdom. And, it made me swell up with tears as well!

    "The Little Prince" insipired me to read "Wind, Sand and Stars", and it is amazing how many things are either conceptually, or even litterally, parallel in both books! This "de Saint-Exupery" is an incredible writer! And, he brings existential truths about life out of theory and into reality!

    Don't miss them! But, start with "The Little Prince" as it is a Miracle!

    ADDENDUM
    On January 9, 2010, I edited my origianal review to remove the references critical of the Katherine Woods translation. I was parrotting what a friend of mine, and her friends and young son, told me. It was not appropriate for me to write as if I were so sure of myself. The Amazon.com review of this book does write of certain mis-translations in the Woods translation, which affect its intended French beautiful "flow." The Amazon.com review goes on to describe this Howard translation as an improvement as their review claims this Howard transalation is truer to the original French. Many customer reviews, however, write with great passion, and provide detailed translation examples, supporting the view that the Katherine Woods translation was actually much more consistent with the poetry and flow of the original French.

    I have never read the Katherine Woods translation although I remember my brother had it as a little kid. I bought him a copy, and I am about to buy myself one. That is how much I LOVE this book! I am thrilled that the "Miracle" lives on, and I "have" to read it again; and, I get to compare the two translations and the surrounding controversy. (I saw there is a discussion topic about the two translations, but I did not care to look at that.)

    As you probably already know, this is a classic. But not because it's well written or a breakthrough in literature, it's a classic because each person reads it their own way. The book changes depending on the stage you are at life. Keep reading it and every now and then. Let the Little Prince surprise you with his adventures each time you glance its pages :)
