The Little Prince

<p>“An aviator downed in the desert and facing long odds of survival encounters a strange young person<br />neither man nor really boy who it emerges over time has travelled from his solitary home on a distant<br />asteroid where he lives alone with a single rose. The rose has made him so miserable that in torment<br />he has taken advantage of a flock of birds to convey him to other planets. He is instructed by a wise<br />if cautious fox and by a sinister angel of death the snake.”—<em>Adam Gopnik The New Yorker</em></p>
