Description: The Short Reign of Pippin IV by John Steinbeck Steinbeck’s only political satire. A humorous read that pokes fun at French politics during the 1950s. Pippin IV explores the life of Pippin Héristal, an amateur astronomer in 1950s France, who is suddenly proclaimed the King of France. Unknowingly appointed to give the Communists a monarchy to revolt against, Pippin is chosen because he was descended from the famous king Charlemagne.
