We seek him here, we seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven?β€”Is he in hell?

HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER
I was 13 when I first read this gem of a book and it truly has stood the test of time - I enjoyed reading it as much as I did back then! 

Just a note that some 19th/20th century ideologies (which are still present today, just less prevalent) can be seen quite strongly at the end of the book.
