Features: This book is a fairy tale, but not in the ordinary sense. It is filled with reflections on our life states, a so-called "philosophical fairy tale." Yet, it does not preach any big truths. It does not even "softly" convey any lessons. It has nothing to do with moralizing. Everything is hidden in the bell-like laughter of the Little Prince. It is as simple and moving as truth itself. When you close the book, you'll feel sweet and sorrowful, perhaps even a little like crying. Some say it is a heavy fairy tale. Maybe it is. The deep see depth, the shallow see superficiality—this is the quality of all good stories.
