Animal Farm

A special student edition of Orwell's timeless fable, with an introduction and study notes

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them starts to take control, and the animals find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

This special student edition of George Orwell's chilling satire is specifically designed for readers who are studying the text in detail. It has extra-wide margins to leave space for notes, and includes an introduction and notes by Orwell expert Ronald Carter, character sketches, a summary, a chronology, language notes and a selection of questions and topics for discussion and analysis.
