Masterwork Studies Series: The Little Prince (Twayne's Masterwork Studies)

In this sympathetic yet penetrating study of a revered classic of children's literature, James E. Higgins examines the relevance of Saint-Exupery's active engagement in World War II, demonstrating that this most unusual man - who took part in adventures that few people will experience in their lifetimescould at the same time be everyman, communicating universal truths. By examining The Little Prince's simple style and imaginative motifs, Higgins reveals how this little fairy tale so powerfully teaches its lessons about pain, faith, and love and so compellingly asks us to turn inward to find answers to questions of responsibility - to "see with our hearts".James E. Higgins is the author of 'Masterwork Studies Series: The Little Prince (Twayne's Masterwork Studies)', published 1996 under ISBN 9780805783728 and ISBN 0805783725.
