Summary
The book has been translated into more than 160 languages and, to date has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. It is one of the top 50 best-selling books. It has been adapted into a movie musical by Lerner and Loewe, two different operas, as well as into an animated series. It is often used as a beginner's book for French language students.
A pilot stranded in the desert awakes one morning to see, standing before him, the most extraordinary little fellow. "Please," asks the stranger, "draw me a sheep." And the pilot realizes that when life's events are too difficult to understand, there is no choice but to succumb to their mysteries. He pulls out pencil and paper... And thus begins this wise and enchanting fable that, in teaching the secret of what is really important in life, has changed forever the world for its readers.

The Little Prince UNABRIDGED
Everyone should read this book, it reminds you about your inner child, about the simple things in life, the things we see everyday but do not notice, about life and death.

Good Reader, Good Story
I like the story entirely and this was the first audiobook I had ever listened to. I was instantaneously attached to the story for the narrating was on point. I really recommend this to anyone who not just likes audio books but also to other book lovers out there. You can learn a lot of lessons from the story itself and it also gets you in emotionally, just what a lovely story.

Beautiful, beautiful story
I’m not sure how this book escaped me as a child but I’ve finally caught up with it now. A stunning story with a little prince I quickly came to love very much. Just a beautiful, innocent outlook on everything in life. And the narration was fantastic. This is one of my favourite children’s tales, even if I haven’t read it till the age of 46. It’s one not to be missed (hopefully by people who are many years younger than me).

A wonderful telling of a beautiful story.
Humphrey Bower does a superb job of narrating The Little Prince. His voice seems perfect for this story and he captures the essence of each character brilliantly and without being jarring or OTT.
I was listening to the English audio while reading the Finnish translation of the novel and found that the pace was perfect for this.
I would say it was suitable for readers/listeners of all ages but it almost certainly will cause youngsters to ask questions.

Magic
This is such a fantastic story, looking from a wholistic view, great reminders for us to live by, tears of joy of wise innocents, I shed listening again to this story that inspired me so many years ago. I have brought many copies of this book and given to every newborn in my life. On listening again after so many years I am so glad I shared it, the Truth of this message never changes.....

I am an adult
I am one of those adults who often forgets he was once a child. It is saying an awful lot that my 12y.o child made more sense out of this book than me. But I will keep watching the stars...

Superb Narration
Loved the narration, the characters were full of life. The experience was slightly hindered by not seeing the original illustrations. I would have loved to read & listen this book, but the option wasn't there. Still worth listening to.
