A few years ago when I had the chance to visit France, I took two books along with me.  I think I got through two chapters of A Tale of Two Cities before I set it aside.  Then there was The Little Prince: much shorter and probably a good deal stranger (that ending- what?!).  Now there’s a movie being made of it . . . and it’s beautiful.

This is one of those occasions where I think the framing sequence (mother and child) is a wise move.  I am a but surprised, though, that they include one of the book’s best moments in the trailer.  It still got me, though.

I’m still trying to figure out, though, what actually makes a wonderful grown-up.
