About

The little prince

In June 1996, the little town of Fuglebjerg received a rather special gift. It was an original sculpture that was to stand in one of the school's playgrounds for the children to climb on. A controversial sculptor, Jens Galschiøt Christophersen, had been inspired by the French writer Saint-Exupéry's wonderful book, "The Little Prince". The writer was a military pilot during world war II, and whilst flying he had felt an inspiration to write this little book. The story's narrator, who is a pilot too, meets the little prince in Sahara because the plane breaks down. The prince, who comes from a far away planet, visits several other planets and their strange inhabitants: a conceited man, a drunkard and a business man - then he makes frinds with a fox, a snake and the pilot, when he visits the planet Earth. But he cannot forget his friend from his own planet, a rose.
