Il piccolo principe (Le Petit Prince) è un racconto breve molto poetico difficilmente etichettabile come libro per ragazzi. Scritto da Antoine de Saint-Exupery nel 1943, affronta temi come l'amicizia, l'amore, l'attaccamento. Accompagnato dai disegni originali dell'autore (che sono presenti nei tag degli audiofiles) e da una delle sue musiche favorite (il Notturno n. 13 di Chopin) il racconto evoca, attraverso un velo di malinconia, la gioia di un vivere pieno, senza maschere e schemi mentali dettati dal "mondo".
