I had the same experience with this book -- trying to read it for the first time as an unappreciative child, and coming back to it as an adult with a better idea of what the author was trying to say. I'm so glad you had the chance to give it another go, too. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new animated movie based on this book, if it ever does come out in the US. Supposedly Netflix has picked it up!looloolooweezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04100008049805674675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-30853420725030329942016-04-02T22:28:45.402-04:002016-04-02T22:28:45.402-04:00Yes...I could quote charming excerpts for quite a ...Yes...I could quote charming excerpts for quite a while.

Time to read it again! Thank you for the reminder. The fox and the rose, being tamed, loving has stayed with me from my first reading. Here are some favorite lines: <br />"The fact is that I did not know how to understand anything! I ought to have judged by deeds and not by words. She cast her fragrance and her radiance over me. I ought never to have run away from her..."<br />""My flower is ephemeral," the little prince said to himself, "and she has only four thorns to defend herself against the world. And I have left her on my planet, all alone!""<br />""I am beginning to understand," said the little prince. "There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me...""<br />Mary AnnMaryAnn727https://www.blogger.com/profile/13124118403648403815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-83304137767815755782016-04-01T20:10:53.839-04:002016-04-01T20:10:53.839-04:00Yep...it's a gem.
