Features: Happy 60th Birthday to The Little Prince! Dear Little Prince, you have grown up and are now 60 years old. Let us all wish you a happy birthday! The Little Prince, once the most famous book in France and the most beloved book in the world, remains so today! Although this fairy tale written by a Frenchman was first published in the United States in 1943, the French are only willing to remember its French publication date—1946. In April 2006, the French celebrated its 60th anniversary in a grand manner, announcing to the world in French: The Little Prince has just turned 60! Let us respect the proud French people’s wishes and celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Little Prince’s birth once again! According to the latest data announced by the official website of The Little Prince, this book has sold 80 million copies worldwide, with 11 million sold in France alone. It has been translated into over 160 languages, and there are hundreds of Chinese versions. A few years ago, the French generously awarded The Little Prince the title of the "Best French-Language Book of the 20th Century," with a series of great modern literary classics like In Search of Lost Time ranking only after it.
