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.

Deeply analytical yet equally entertaining
Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince is an excellent critique of humanity through the eyes of a child. Richard E. Grant’s narration, coupled with the literary choices of Morpurgo in his translation make it a most enjoyable listen!

Classic at its best
Great translation by Morpurgo and awesome narration by Richard Grant. Thank you, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, for such a beautiful timeless children's book (and for grown-ups who haven't forgotten). So touching, troubling and captivating. And because it captivated me, parting ways with the book was sad. There were tears. I listened just one chapter a day. To make it last as long as could. It made me miss my dad. He had a hard copy of this book when I was little. He taught me to look at the stars and told me the names of constellations. He taught me to look at things and at people with the eyes of my heart and see the goodness. This is a story about friendship, life, death and above all, about paying attention, spending time on what matters. Good night, dad. He, who was always a little boy trapped in a man's body, with all his sweetness and vulnerability, but also stubbornness. You are my little prince.

Priorities of life
The book generated an awareness, kindness and positive messages. I too will think differently when I look at the stars and think of the little Prince 🤴
Loved the Narrator
