Penguin Island - Anatole France - (1924)

When a nearly blind monk mistakes great auks for humans and baptizes them, Heaven must resolve the dilemma by transforming the birds into people. What follows is a sweeping fictional history of Penguinia that mirrors France and Western Europe, spanning from the Dark Ages through modernity and beyond.

Anatole France  was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers. Ironic and skeptical, he was considered in his day the ideal French man of letters.
