The Little Prince and other stories
14 Answers
A book I had when very young with the above title. The prince and his entourage crossed a stream and all turned into goldfish....but it all turned out alright in the end! As the title suggests, there were other stories in the book, but the illustrations were magic and I wonder if anyone has a copy. Thank you.

spacechimp: No, I didn't bid as it was not the book I remembered. The one I'm looking for was an oblong shape, more wide than high with beautiful illustrations in full colour on shiny paper - I think the pictures were possibly more appealing than the stories. I hesittate to say that I am talking of nearly 60 years ago! What an admision!
