I didn't read
The Little Prince until I was in college. It became -- and remains -- one of my favorite books of all time.
I do, however, prefer the original Katherine Woods translation to the more recent one done by Richard Howard. His may be technically more "exact" -- but much of the beautiful poetry of Woods translation has been lost, imo.
