"This compelling retelling renders Orwell’s enduring allegory accessible to a notably broader readership."
Interest Age 11+ Reading Age 8
Lucid, vivid, and briskly-paced, Tanya Landman’s retelling of Animal Farm never compromises the potency of Orwell’s original, from the opening pages when Major, “a majestic pig, with a wise and kindly appearance”, declares that the reason the animals of Manor Farm “live miserably” in a state of servitude is “because the produce of our labour is stolen by human beings”.
After issuing his farmyard comrades with a call to action (“Rebellion!”) and declaring that “all animals are equal”, Major dies, and on his death, his peers overthrow the exploitative tyrant farmer and set about creating an equal society.
Such is Landman’s storytelling prowess, the impact of Orwell’s timeless tale of oppression, rebellion, and the corrupting influence of power shines through this eminently accessible re- telling. Complementing the publisher’s dyslexia-friendly, unabridged edition of Animal Farm, and empowering readers who might struggle with the original text, Landman’s rendition is ideal for use in the classroom.
George Orwell's powerful tale of rebellion and tyranny is vividly brought to life in this compelling and accessible retelling from Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman.
