Much more than the story of a little boy and his sheep, it is a story of individualism and determination told as a fairy-tale.

Katherine Woods’ simple and beautiful translation is the only one that does justice to The Little Prince. Published by Harcourt in 1943 and 1971, her English translation is the essential — the translation loved and quoted by English-speaking people around the world, even by members of English- and French-speaking Canadian Parliament! But hers is OUT OF PRINT by Harcourt (who copyrighted her translation in 1943), so snatch up used copies while you may, or be certain you are getting hers in any new or used publication!
Beware of the "new translation" out by Richard Howard, first published in 2000; I accidentally got one. Ouch! His "new" translation purges meaning and is not worth the money. It gives a falseness to one of the most sincere stories ever written. Howard’s lacks beauty and is at times unintelligible: It simply does not make sense. Since Howard has no apparent understanding of the truths expressed in The Little Prince, this is not to be wondered at.
Near the end (Chapter XXVI, the Woods translation), the little prince says, "You — you alone will have the stars as no one else has them"…"In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You — only you — will have stars that can laugh!" (quoted by actor Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda, age 25, in tribute at his passing). Howard’s translation cannot match that for meaning, poignancy, or interpretation of de Saint Exupéry’s words.
