A pilot accidentally crashes his plane and lands in the Sahara Desert. While he is wondering how he will survive without food or water, he meets a wandering prince. The little prince has fallen to Earth from another planet, and has been exploring on his own. He has met a great deal of characters and learned valuable lessons on life and living. A great fox he meets instructs him that, "One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye." Life on the prince's planet is very Zen and minimalist, and he has a hard time coming to terms with how plentiful Earth is, and how ungrateful and unhappy most of its inhabitants are. A classic tale of perspective, hope and kindness. How have I never read this before? Beautiful illustrations.
