Nobel Prize-winner Anatole France's satiric epic opens with a Christian missionary monk who accidentally lands on an island and mistakes the native penguins for people and baptizes them. This mistake causes a problem for God who normally only allows people to be baptized. The problem is resolved by transforming the birds into humans... Includes more than 70 illustrations by Frank C. Pape.
