Orwell's classic tale tells of the animals of Manor Farm and their uprising against their brutal human master, Mr Jones.

They dream of a life of freedom and equality, where all animals work for the good of each other in the newly formed, utopian, Animal Farm.

However, their dream is short-lived as some of the inhabitants become swiftly corrupted by their new found power.

Most of the animals don't realise that one form of tyranny has replaced another until it is too late. This Essential Student Texts edition of Orwell's modern classic comes with accessible and informative notes.
