Children quite naturally see with the heart, the essential is clearly visible to them. The little fox will move them simply by being a fox. They will not need his secret until they have forgotten it and have to find it again.
Review by P.L. Travers, New York Herald Tribune 1943
...I think, therefore, that The Little Prince will shine upon children with a sidewise gleam. It will strike them in some place that is not the mind and glow there until the time comes for them to comprehend it.
Review by P.L. Travers, New York Herald Tribune 1943
...Yet even in saying this I am conscious of drawing a line between grown-ups and children. . . . And I do not believe that line exists.
Review by P.L. Travers, New York Herald Tribune 1943
