Publisher's Synopsis
This beautiful jacketed hardback edition presents George Orwell's classic allegorical tale with new full-colour illustrations by Victor McLindon and patterned endpapers.
Revolution is in the air at Manor Farm after old Major, a prize boar, tells the other animals about his dream of freedom. Mr Jones, the drunken farmer, is deposed and a committee of pigs takes over the running of the farm. But the dream turns sour, the purges begin, and those in charge come more and more to resemble their oppressors.
With a series of delightful illustrations that bring the author's vivid gallery of character to life, Orwell's satire of totalitarianism remails as lucid and compelling as ever, conveying the truth about how we are manipulated through language and the impossibility of finding heaven on earth.
