It is a wonderfully mysterious book. On the surface it describes the journey of the little prince from Asteroid B-612 and his friendship with the narrator of the book. But deep down it is also a fable of life, love, loneliness, learning – and much more.
If you haven’t read it, go and read it now. If you have read it already, read it again some years later. Then read it again some years after that. Repeat the process as often as you like. You will realize that it has become a different story each time you read it, and you will see new meaning all the time. This is the magic of The Little Prince.

I read this book as a child (9 - 10 y. old) because it was on the obligatory school reading list, and after i read it, it left me a sense of claustrophobia and loneliness. I'm interested whether such senses or similar ones has being left for other readers of the same age. It was a mistake, I think, give children such a book because they are not able to understand the metaphora or the writer's message. I'll read it again
