The Ballad of the Penguin of Death by Edward Monkton
. . . suddenly you hear it in a voice so clear and strong, a strange and SUBTLE melody A HAUNTING Penguin song.In this hauntingly nuanced ballad, Edward Monkton takes you on an epic journey to the heart of life . . . and to the strange and wonderful release that is DEATH by Method 412.
Lyrical. Entrancing. Once you have made the fateful journey to the enigmatic Penguin's snowy palace, he invites you in to share with him a final cup of tea before subjecting you to the unimagined ecstasy of his ultimate treatment.
A delicious mixture of euphoria and fright meld to reveal something wonderful and bright in this eccentric Monkton narrative that accompanies his trademark, hand-lettered black-and-white illustrations.
Giles Andreae, philosopher, poet, artist, and all-around intriguing man, is the alter ego of Edward Monkton, an urbane Eton and Oxford educated philosopher, poet, artist, and all-round interesting person. Edward Monkton's website is www.edwardmonkton.com.
