In her newest literary offering "The Tent" , a collection of bite-sized science fictions, poems, animal fables and satiric musings , Margaret Atwood relates the tale of the lay-about King Log, who is deposed as monarch of the Pond by the resident frogs in favour of the experienced and efficient King Stork.
The amphibians' joy at the coronation soon turns to dismay as their new sovereign summarily gobbles up his subjects. (Ex-king Log rolls off and retires to a villa in the Alps to write his memoirs.)
