For a while I thought collecting Little Princes in as many translations as possible would be a worthwhile goal. I got up to four, but there is little point in gathering more if I can't get through a single paragraph. Already the French is a slog, and only possible thanks to familiarity and the illustrations, but El Principito is delightful. The Grooks were an unlikely find in a secondhand store. I should point out that almost all these books were bought used, lest anyone get the impression that the cracked spines are any credit to my literacy.
