This book is wonderful! I've just started to read it tonight and wish I had read it long ago. I hadn't known very much about it, but stumbled upon it in a bookstore a few months ago.
It was written and illustrated by French aviator Antoine de Saint Exupery and published in 1943. Originally written in French, it has been translated to English, which is lucky for me seeing as how I haven't picked up very much French beyond an assortment of my most beloved foods' vocabulary! Le Petit Prince is a timeless classic in French literature and best-selling the world over. This novella is for children of all ages and I'll try to do a little review of it once I finish it tomorrow. So far, I'm having trouble finding words to describe it... it seems to say so many things!
There's a jazz musician I've recently learned of that I absolutely adore, Ben Sollee. He was born and raised in my home state of Kentucky and blends classical cello with his bluegrass roots. Ben was named one of NPR's "Top Ten Unknown Artists of the Year". Take a listen here.
