I found the entire tale very poignant, which is why I won't describe the plot further, and also because I cannot find the words to even begin to describe it. I won't spoil the book for those who have not read it, but, to summarise, it chronicles the adventure of the titular 'Little Prince' (to put it in very basic terms) around planets, while also exploring a few of the follies of the adult world. I am not a very emotional person, and I rarely ever feel sad in that way that makes your heart twinge, much less cry, but the ending managed to make me burst into tears. Though I haven't read many books, I still feel that 'The Little Prince' is one of the finest pieces of literature ever written, no matter how simple its prose may be or how straight-forward its plot is. Note: For reference, I read the English translation of the book by Irene Testot-Ferry.
