Since publishing &quot;Le Petit Prince&quot; in 1943 it has achieved almost mythical status having been translated into over 200 languages and has been voted the greatest book of the 20th century. It continues to sell almost 2 million copies everyday, but at the time&amp;nbsp;Saint-Exup\u00e9ry wasn't even sure anyone would like it. Leaving the finished manuscript with a friend before he went off to war he said, &quot;I'd like to give you something splendid, but this is all I have&quot;. &amp;nbsp; In this episode of Ten Words, I look behind the scenes and what inspired this gorgeously eccentric and reluctant author-adventurer-artist-aviator to write. And what lessons we can learn from his relentless pursuit of creativity? &amp;nbsp; It's one of my favourite books of all-time, so much so that I even wear a bracelet everyday embossed with the Little Prince's star! I hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about&amp;nbsp;Saint-Exup\u00e9ry's story as much as I enjoyed putting this episode together. &amp;nbsp; Thanks for listening!
