SOLD! ITEM #6: BOOK: The little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery


According to the inside blurb, this book is the most translated book in the French language.

I read this in March 2006 after buying it at the Lifeline bookfest for a couple of dollars. There are two short stories but I never read the second one.

Here’s a quote that I took from the book:

“Judge yourself… that is the most difficult thing of all. It is far more difficult to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself correctly, then you are truly a man of wisdom”…

For those who don’t really enjoy reading, there are also some cute little pictures in the book.
