If you don't know French, I barely do, and only in emergencies, find the Woods translation from the '40s I think. It was officially out-of-print, but the Weekly Reader, remember that?, or some form of school publication still had a Scholastic printing of it, my younger sister showed me a couple years ago....Or find a used copy. Or read it online. The Woods version, if not French. Saint-Exupery.I will definitely find this and give it a look, I expect I will be able to find it online. I did read a bit about it in Wiki. I was not aware that there was a connection to James Dean. Thanks, rowens.
