Book Overview

Penguin Persons And Peppermints is a novel written by Walter Prichard Eaton and first published in 1922. The story is set in a small New England town and follows the lives of several eccentric characters, including a retired sea captain, a poet, and a young woman who dreams of becoming an actress. The title of the book comes from the fact that the town is known for its production of peppermint oil and the presence of a colony of penguins in a nearby zoo.

The writing style is witty and whimsical, with vivid descriptions of the town and its inhabitants.
