A satire of French politics and American big business, this is the tale of the Frenchman who did not want to be king, of his film-mad daughter Clotilde, and of his chief adviser - a nun who learned about life as a nude in the Follie-Bergere.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Short and Sweet,
By Amy Adams (Denton, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Short Reign of Pippin IV (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
True to Steinbeck, this novel hits emotions on many levels. One of his more humourous works, The Short Reign of Pippin IV chronicles a man's journey from an average guy to king and back. It's short, it's funny, and it's a classic. A must-read for any fan of Steinbeck or parodying the French!
