Animal Farm tells the story of a rebellion and how it goes wrong. The animals' lives on the farm are terrible—there is not enough food, the work is hard, and animals are dying.

Life for them is the same as before.

About the Author

George Orwell (Author) Eric Arthur Blair (1903-1950), better known by his pen-name, George Orwell, was born in India, where his father worked for the Civil Service. An author and journalist, Orwell was one of the most prominent and influential figures in twentieth-century literature. His unique political allegory Animal Farm was published in 1945, and it was this novel, together with the dystopia of Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), which brought him world-wide fame. His novels and non-fiction include Burmese Days, Down and Out in Paris and London, The Road to Wigan Pier and Homage to Catalonia. Ladybird (Author) We make growing up the best story ever!
