The Short Reign of Pippin IV: A Fabrication

In his only work of political satire, The Short Reign of Pippin IV, John Steinbeck turns the French Revolution upside down as amateur astronomer Pippin HÃ©ristal is drafted to rule the unruly French. Steinbeck creates around the infamous Pippin the most hilarious royal court ever: Pippinâ€™s wife, Queen Marie, who â€œmight have taken her place at the bar of a very good restaurantâ€; his uncle, a man of dubious virtue; his glamour-struck daughter and her beau, the son of the so-called â€œegg kingâ€ of Petaluma, California; and a motley crew of courtiers and politicians, guards and gardeners. This edition includes an introduction by Robert Morsberger and Katharine Morsberger.
