Having got rid of their human masters, the animals of Manor Farm look forward to a life of freedom and plenty. Orwell’s allegoric story of the betrayal of idealism through tyranny and corruption is as fresh today as when it was first published in 1945.

Description
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 élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell’s chilling ‘fairy story’ is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.
