THE MAN IN THE MOON.
THE Man in the Moon
Came tumbling down,
And asked his way to Norwich;

They told him south,
And he burnt his mouth
With eating cold pease-porridge.

The Little Prince [Le Petit Prince], is a novella and the most famous work of the French aristocrat, writer, poet and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944). The novella is both the most-read and most-translated book in the French language, and was voted the best book of the 20th century in France. After the outbreak of the Second World War Saint-Exupéry became exiled in North America.

A kis herceg cimu regenyben igazi mesevilag tarul elenk a B612-es kisbolygon. Tulajdonosa, egy rejtelyes kisfiu, aki gyermeki naivitasaval, tiszta szivvel indul felfedezni a kornyezo bolygokat, s megprobalja megerteni a felnottek vilagat. Hat bolygon tett latogatasa soran megtanulja, hogyan nem szabad elni, az elet ertelmet pedig a roka arulja el neki.
A legnagyobb kincs a szeretet, s az ember mindig felelos a baratjaert, azert, akit "megszeliditett".

The Children's Book of Birds combines under a single cover the First and Second Books of Birds, originally published in 1899 and 1901 respectively and still popular with children in and out of school and with other beginners in the study of birds.

There were formerly a King and a Queen, who were so sorry that they had no children, so sorry that it cannot be expressed. They went to all the waters in the world; vows, pilgrimages, all ways were tried and all to no purpose.

IN this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri negro dialect; the extremest form of the backwoods Southwestern dialect; the ordinary "Pike County" dialect; and four modified varie-ties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech.

The longer stories in this book are called Fairy Stories, because that is the name by which such tales are always known to children; and yet only a very few contain any direct reference to fairies. The most of them have to do with talking animals and with strange incidents and transformations such as have always delighted the childish fancy.

«Sei anni fa, ebbi un incidente col mio aeroplano nel deserto del Sahara. Qualche cosa si era rotta nel motore, e siccome non avevo con me né un meccanico, né dei passeggeri. Mi accinsi da solo a cercare di riparare il guasto. Era una questione di vita o di morte, perché avevo acqua da bere soltanto per una settimana...

Potete immaginare il mio stupore di essere svegliato all'alba da una strana vocetta: "Mi disegni, per favore, una pecora?"...

E fu così che feci la conoscenza del piccolo principe.»

THAT going to the seaside was the very beginning of everything—only it seemed as though it were going to be a beginning without an end, like the roads on the Sussex downs which look like roads and then look like paths, and then turn into sheep tracks, and then are just grass and furze bushes and tottergrass and harebells and rabbits and chalk.
