All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.

It's just an ordinary farm – until the animals revolt. They get rid of the irresponsible farmer. Two young pigs assume command. The other animals are sure that life is improving, but as systems are replaced and half-truths are retold, a new hierarchy emerges...

Orwell's tale of propaganda, power, and greed has never felt more pertinent.

With an exciting new cover and inside illustrations by superstar Chris Mould.

About the Author

George Orwell (1903-1950) is one of the world's most influential writers, the visionary author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four as well as non-fiction classics. By the time of his death in 1950 (and since), he was world-renowned as a journalist and author.

Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoon. As well as writing his own fiction and illustrating Ted Hughes' The Iron Man to much critical success, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he's not drawing and writing, you'll find him . . . actually, he's never not drawing or writing.
