content: How true to life Le Petit Prince is! We read it in class, and I must say it is the most wonderful book I've ever read as part of any curriculum, one of the very few which haven't exasperated me to death.It really is such a joy to read it in its original, French version--the English translations we looked at got a bit clunky, language-wise, at times--there really is no substitute for reading the exact words Saint-Exupery put down.Read it!
