More than a fairytale....
I found this book in the kids section of my local library, but it has more to serve than just a fairytale.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry has done a marvelous work of fiction that's not limited to be called as a fiction. Every pictogram, every line, the way of sentence formations, the way story furthers itself, is just extraordinary. The novel is filled with symbolisms, and if it finds a place in an early mind, he's going to take this with him a long way, with more depth reached every next read.
It is a satire on the ignorant adult minds, that live their entire lives in closed patterns without questioning them. Comparatively, kids are curious by nature and see this world through a different lens. With time, this curiosity gets eaten up by the "grown ups" and they become "serous" in life.
The little prince refuses to follow this heard mentality and decides to explore meaning of life. He learns love and decided to sacrifices himself to that love.
Let's discuss in comments section your views on this.
