Features: The Little Prince is a fairy tale of great significance in the history of contemporary French literature. The Little Prince is an extraordinary and transcendent fairy, originally living on the small planet B612. Due to the vanity of a rose, his self-esteem was wounded, so he left the planet and began to wander through space. He visited six planets: the king on the first planet never gives up his dignity; the second planet is inhabited by only one vain person; the third planet is home to a drunkard who uses alcohol to numb himself; the fourth planet is occupied by a merchant who wants to deposit stars in a bank and claim them as his own. These experiences make the Little Prince feel that adults are too abnormal, too lacking in imagination, and too devoid of love that connects all things in the universe. Thus, he begins to miss the rose on his small planet. With the help of a fox, he finds the spring of life in the desert while stranded with a pilot, which allows him to return to his own planet.
