Product Description

Product Description
This book features things you need to know about The Penguin of Death: He is strangely attractive because of his enigmatic smile. He can kill you in any 1 of 412 different ways. This eccentric addition to the Monkton collection is unusually sinister unlike any of the other titles in the series. The Penguin softly calls you - from his palace in the snow, though every sinew holds you back. You know that you must go. And when you've make the journey 'cross the barren icy land. The Penguin simply smiles and says, "I knew you'd understand". 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 his ultimate treatment. You experience both unimagined ecstasy and the strange and beautiful release that is The Penguin's final masterpiece! - "Death by Method 412". Inspired by Edward Monkton's bestselling and most-pondered card, "The Penguin of Death" is an epic ballad - a journey to the heart of life and Death. Edward Monkton's highly collectable series of books continues to delight and perplex tens of thousands of loyal followers. But no other card has brought such a delicious mixture of joy and fear as "The Penguin of Death". Entire websites have been devoted to discovering this deadly assassin's methods. Now, finally, the darkest of them all has been revealed in this stunning book. Edward Monkton books make stylish gifts - for the home on the coffee table, in the bathroom, in quiet places, and they are perfect for giving to a loved one or for keeping for yourself.

About the Author
Edward Monkton is a relative of Purple Ronnie, the other well-known creation of Giles Andreae. The three of them live together, philosophising and generally at peace with themselves and the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Twist to Tea and Biscuits, 28 Oct 2006
By Dr. J. A. James - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked up the Penguin of Death at the bookshop, being attracted by the strange title. I had to read it from cover to cover and was so touched by it's deepness and enigmatic storyline that I had to buy it. Edward Monkton is simply a genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gloriously Random, 31 May 2007
An unusual little book; the story is told in the form of a short poem. Both witty and insightful, it is oddly compelling and you're sure to enjoy this again and again (though you might not want to read it to small children??)

5.0 out of 5 stars Profoundly and hauntingly moving, 13 Dec 2006
By Seeker (England) - See all my reviews
I picked this up in a bookshop, also attracted by the strange title, whilst looking for a Christmas present for a friend. I was so delighted by it that I bought 2 copies, one for my friend and one for me! EM is witty, insightful and joyful. If you want to treat yourself or a friend, buy this book!
