Saint-Exupéry had little time to enjoy its success. Travers said that it had the necessary ingredients for a children’s book in that “it is true in the most inward sense, it offers no explanations and it has a moral.” However, the novella ultimately became a beloved classic, its story resonating with readers of all ages. It was unclear whether the book was meant for children or adults, though British writer P.L. Critics were unsure what to make of The Little Prince, and it was not immediately popular. The main theme of the fable is expressed in the secret that the fox tells the little prince: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye.”įrench- and English-language versions of the novella were published in April 1943 (though the book did not appear in France until 1946). In contrast, children come to wisdom through open-mindedness and a willingness to explore the world around them and within themselves. The Little Prince draws unflattering portraits of grown-ups as being hopelessly narrow-minded.
