Description: An allegorical cautionary tale that pokes at the true nature of society. Two tree frogs, Socrates and Robert, set out in search of a peaceful home. They reach the country of Napage, where a society of wrinkled frogs keeps some odd precepts but lives in peace and quiet -- that is, until a certain incident occurs. What is peace? Who is truly foolish?
