About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Read by Richard E. Grant, with an introduction read by Michael Morpurgo.
If a little fellow comes along, if he laughs, if he has golden hair, and if he never answers questions, then you will know who he is.
He is the Little Prince, the mysterious, innocent and beautiful boy who appears to a pilot stranded in the desert and makes an extraordinary request. He has captured the hearts of millions of readers around the world since his story first appeared in 1943, written down by an aristocratic French aviator who soon after disappeared during a flight across the sea. The Little Prince journeys to our planet from his home among the stars, encountering all sorts of benighted grown-ups along the way, and a fox, who teaches him how to see the important things in life. But the Prince has left behind a flower growing on his star, a rose which is his treasure and his burden, and before long he must return to it.
Master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse, has translated what is for him 'one of the greatest stories ever written' so that more English readers might discover the joy of reading this enchanting fable. The Little Prince is a story for everyone, for children and grown-up children, for kings, geographers and lamp-lighters, even for the very serious and the very wise.

Amazing narration
I love love love this audiobook. It's my childhood most favourite book. Once I found it in my parents library and made my mum to read it to me and I was stunned. Such unusual story, it perhaps wasn't a fairy tale for children I thought but for adults. When I was in early teens I've bought audio cd with this story which was translation to my native language but after listening to this brand new english translation I can feel the real revival of the story with the modern language used in here. It gave me shivers in the end. It's interesting how different meaning this book has for me now twenty years later than when I first listened to my mum's narration. It's extremely deep story about life, its meaning, people we will inevitably meet on our journey, parent and child bond and the final departure and death. I might need to listen to it again to fully grasp each character of every planet the prince visited and to think for while who are these characters in my life but I surely will again and again.

Pure bliss
My dad used to read this amazing book to me and my sister! I hold it close to my heart. I love to read it to my son even though he's only 8 weeks old, but we love listening to it in the car he finds it so calming!
