FIRST USA EDITION Pictorial dust jacket (William Pene du Bois) over orange cloth, pp.188. FIRST UK EDITION Pictorial dust jacket (Osbert Lancaster) over blue cloth, pp.164 Steinbeck's only work of political satire turns the French Revolution on its head, as amateur astronomer Pippin Heristal is drafted in to rule the unruly French. Enchanting comedy ensues as Steinbeck creates the most hilarious royal court ever around the brief, bold reign of the corduroy clad Pippin, his social climbing wife Maria, his starstruck daughter Clotilde and her Californian beau, Todd. Featuring a motley crew of courtiers and con men, guards and gardeners, Steinbeck's late comic novel is an entrancing read about politics, power and the daily struggle not to lose one's head.
