Le Petit Prince - the car
If you've never read The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, you don't know what you're missing. This is my favorite book of all time. My high school French teacher introduced me to it, and since then I've read it many times. My copies, both in French and English, are among my most cherished possessions.
This book is about what's important in life, the things that matter. It's about saying things that need to be said while there's still time. It's about ownership and authority. It's about the innocence of childhood and the nature of love - looking at both the good and the bad. It's about looking beyond the surface to see the essence that lies beneath.
It can easily be read in a short period of time, but for me, the lessons to be learned have stuck with me for a lifetime.
Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw this car painted with scenes from this wonderful book, located within walking distance of our apartment. It seems I'm not the only one who's still enchanted with this beautiful story from St-Ex.
