His encounters and discoveries, seen through childlike, innocent eyes, give rise to candid reflections on life and human nature. Presented here in a new translation by Gregory Norminton and featuring the author's own watercolour illustrations, The Little Prince has become a classic philosophical fable for young and old.

"You are deluded, Romeo. Vampires do not have the capability to
love. They are heartless."
The Capulets and the Montagues have some deep and essential
differences. Blood differences. Of course, the Capulets can escape
their vampire fate, and the Montagues can try not to kill their
undead enemies. But at the end of the day, their blood feud is
unstoppable. So it's really quite a problem when Juliet, a
vampire-to-be, and Romeo, the human who should be hunting her, fall
desperately in love. What they don't realize is how deadly their
love will turn out to be--or what it will mean for their
afterlives. . . .
This riotous twist on the ultimate tale of forbidden romance is
simply to die for.
