Meet the Cast

The Little Prince

The little prince is a wisp of a boy with curly golden hair and a laugh that sounds like a million little bells...

The Narrator

When you read this book, were you surprised to find out that it was narrated by an adult? We were!

The Fox

Although he only has a cameo role, the fox is a super-duper important character in this book.

The Flower

The prince’s love for his flower causes him much pain and heartbreak. Let’s try to understand her better to see what all the fuss is about.

The Snake

Is it possible to come across any snake in literature and not think of that snake? You know, the one in the Bible and Paradise Lost—the one that’s actually Satan.

The King

After he leaves his own planet, the little prince first lands up on the planet of the king. The king can be compared to the prince himself.

The Conceited Man

The second planet the prince visits is inhabited by this character.

The Tippler

“Tippler” means “drunkard,” and he inhabits the third planet that the prince visits. The little prince feels really sorry for the tippler because he looks so dejected.

The Businessman

The businessman inhabits the fourth planet the prince visits. Like the king, he thinks he has power though he really doesn’t.

The Lamplighter

Of all the people the prince meets—before the fox and the narrator, that is—the lamplighter seems like the best choice for friend material.

The Geographer

Here’s another grown-up who’s rather full of himself and obsessed with “matters of consequence” (15.37):“

The Railway Switchman

The prince meets this guy as he’s wandering around on Earth.

The Merchant

The merchant sells things that are supposed to be efficient. In particular, he sells a pill that quenches thirst.
