In Antoine de Saint-Exupery's own words, it is a literature works written for that adult "in his childhood". The whole novel is full of poetic melancholy and a touch of sadness and it uses an easy language to tell the thought provoking philosophy and touching charm. This charm, to be specific, is the combination of simple form and profound connotation. In whole novel, the text is very clean and even pure, and the form is concise and even simple. As a result, the translation for the entire fairy tale also should be easily understood. Little Prince is a household book in western countries and the circulation of this book ranks only second to the Bible. This is a very good book. Although we call it as fairy tale, in fact, it is written for adults. There are not many fairy tales with a touched story like Little Prince. )
