A Guide for Grown-ups: Essential Wisdom from the Collected Works of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)

Though The Little Prince is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s most famous book, he wrote many more, and all are filled with philosophical and insightful quotations. His works have been translated into over a hundred languages and shared all over the world. This little volume is divided into six sections covering quotes that address Happiness, Friendship, Love, Responsibility, Fortitude, and What Is Essential. Readers can turn to any page and find something to inspire them, and it only takes a moment as each page contains only one quote. The shortest of these quotations is a mere six words in length. The longest is less than a half page. Yet each is something that will cause readers to become reflective about some aspect of their everyday lives. While this pithy little collection was first published in 2002, the publisher has brought out a new gift edition with a nice cardinal-red cloth cover with white and gold lettering and decoration. This is something that will make a welcome gift for many occasions such as graduations, milestone birthdays, and even weddings. One need not be a fan of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to find some real joy in reading this book.
