In this salon, <a href="https://twitter.com/wanderuminating">Tanya Raj</a> will lead a deep dive discussion and analysis on The Philosophy of The Little Prince and what this classic children’s book can teach adults.

The novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is a book that transcends generations and has been loved by children and adults alike. A philosophical tale of humanist values explores the story of a grown-up meeting his inner child, embodied by a Little Prince.

Awash with the author’s hand-made illustrations, the journey is a simple tale that tells the story of a child, who travels the universe gaining wisdom. The wisdom is sometimes witty, sometimes confounding, but always poignant and deep.

In the salon, we will:
<ul>
 	<li>Read excerpts from the book and reflect what they mean to us</li>
 	<li>Play a game of our own inner child and dreams that might have been forgotten</li>
 	<li>Discuss what philosophical aspect touches each of us and how that has helped us personally</li>
</ul>
Pre-salon activity (optional):
<ul>
 	<li>Read the book (it’s really, really short – just under 100 pages) – <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/157993.The_Little_Prince">The Little Prince book </a></li>
 	<li>Watch the animated movie, which is a slight deviation from the main novella but captures the essence – <a href="https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80057578">The Little Prince movie</a></li>
</ul>
