Items related to The Pirate and the Penguin
"The Pirate and the Penguin" is a droll modern take on Mark Twain's classic children's tale "The Prince and the Pauper." Penguin has had it with the South Pole. He's bored with the ice, bored with the fish, and bored with the communal escapades of his feathered fraternity. A free spirit, Penguin longs for adventure. Pirate, on the other hand, wants no part in raucous, adventurous ways. Treasure? Conquest? Exploration? Bah. He longs for a simple life, free from the endless travel. When these two misfits meet, they discover the solution to all their problems. Patricia Storms' gift for characterization and keen eye for detail results in a book that is both a delightful adventure and an appealing parable about finding contentment.
