Le Petit Prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
The Little Prince, a young fellow who hails from a tiny, distant planet,loves to watch sunsets and look after his flower, to ask questions and to laugh. And now here he is on Earth, appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the desert, looking for a friend. The friend he finds is the narrator of this story – a pilot who has crash landed and is in grave danger of dying of thirst. The Little Prince might be just a boy but he can help our pilot. Because he understands the really important things in life – things like flowers, stars, a drink of water or laughing. Adult or child, very silly or very wise, this story is for you.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
Victor Hugo
Set in a richly rendered 15th century Paris, Victor Hugo's powerful drama focuses on a beautiful gypsy girl named Esmeralda, the two men-a manipulative priest and the deformed hunchback Quasimodo.
The beautiful gypsy dancer shows pitiful Quasimodo kindness when no one else will. However, Esmeralda's heart lies with someone else. When she is condemned as a witch by Claude Frollo, the tormented priest who lusts after her, Quasimodo attempts to save her but fails at the end. It is a tale peppered with humor but fueled by the anguish that unfolds beneath the bells of the great cathedral of Paris.
