. . . 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.

And it remains intriguing.
The Penguin of Death invites you into his palace and provides tea and biscuits (as any well bred penguin would) before he sings to you, a wild and haunting song at the climax of which you experience great peace... shortly followed by death via method 412.
Bizarrely, that's not at all strange or scary. It has the feel of a welcomed euthanasia about it, you are complicit in the penguin's actions. All in all a great philosophical treatise presented as a sweetly illustrated book about a penguin with strange powers. (
