"The Little Prince II. The Return of the Little Prince" by Magui Lafleur, is a work inspired and based on The Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry. Science life is the background of the author who loves nature and life.
From the drawing of the boa that ate an elephant, new stories and adventures emerged. These stories try to follow Saint-Exupéry's ideas and philosophical line. Magui Lafleur uses the words 'big persons' instead of 'adult', 'grown ups' or 'big people' because Saint-Exupéry in the "Le Petit Prince" (The Little Prince) used the words 'grandes personnes' and not 'adulte' o 'grands gens'.
The Little Prince II started a journey through the Universe visiting planets inhabited by groups of 'big persons' representing different parts of the cosmos.
The Little Prince II discovered and visited planets belonging to an Universe of infinite space and time that harbors temporary civilizations. Throughout his journey he discovered worlds plenty of contradictions and fallacies that incite nicely the mind to think and meditate about his stories.
The Little Prince II contains ten illustrated chapters with more than 15 mini stories and short stories with nice touches of humor that will make you meditate, think and reflect on events that occur throughout the stories.
