The Little Prince

Pixelated pics, bad printing

Such a beautiful edition!

This children’s classic is just the most timeless, exquisite reminder of what is, and should be of value to us.I only have a vague recollection of this book from childhood, so when I saw this beautiful Wordsworth Edition, I decided to read it again. Whilst this is considered a children’s classic, I honestly think there is so much more in this book for adults than for children.The story is of a pilot in a broken down plane in the desert, and of The Little Prince he meets who tells him of his journey across different planets. And, through the innocence and open mind of a child, shows the reader how ridiculous the trivialities and vices made important by adults actually seem.The Little Prince reminds us to open our hearts and minds, to forget our prejudice, and remember the true purpose behind our actions. It is through our sensitivity, our openness to beauty and sadness that we truly feel.A much-needed hour of escapism...and a book I feel I will revisit when overwhelmed with trivialities to remind myself of what is really important.

Absolutely beautiful book

The illustrations are the worst part of the book, whoever is responsible for it, did it cheaply and possibly with a 6 year old, it entirely spoils the, otherwise good, quality of the book.

The cover of this book is lovely but unfortunately arrived damaged. The images inside are very low quality, they are pixelated as if resized incorrectly which is a shame.

It is such a shame for such a beautiful hardback to have such horrendous, foul looking illustrations.I was expecting better
