The Little Prince

Beautiful artwork and story. I think of my friend who is my own little prince. This book reminds me to savor her and all of her wonder while it is there. I hope we both stay whimsical, on our own little stars, knowing that at least one of our kind remains, resisting the death that is adulthood.

I thought I was reading a pirate book or google translated book.

Of course, the source material is excellent.

However, as many others have said, it looks as though this was translated from French (or another language) word-for-word. You can see the French in some parts, where the Little Prince is described as a “her” when speaking about objects that are feminine in French. I’m not even sure how this happened, as Google Translate stopped doing literal translations in 2016. The issue is it’s to the point where I can’t understand what the author’s truing to say at times.

Besides the translation issues, there are quotation marks in random places, and some speech isn’t in quotation marks at all, making it difficult to tell the difference between speech and thoughts/narration. Overall, it looks as though it was written by a child.
