Customer Reviews

A New Twist to Tea and Biscuits
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.

Profoundly and hauntingly moving
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!

Gloriously Random
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??)
