Infos

All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. It's just an ordinary farm - until the animals revolt. They get rid of the irresponsible farmer. The other animals are sure that life is improving, but as systems are replaced and half-truths are retold, a new hierarchy emerges . . . Orwell's tale of propaganda, power and greed has never felt more pertinent. With an exciting new cover and inside illustrations by superstar Chris Mould.

George Orwell (1903-1950) is one of the world's most influential writers, the visionary author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-four as well as non-fiction classics. By the time of his death in 1950 (and since), he was world-renowned as a journalist and author. Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoon. As well as writing his own fiction and illustrating Ted Hughes' The Iron Man to much critical success, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he's not drawing and writing, you'll find him . . . actually, he's never not drawing or writing.

Rezensionen

Mould's atmospheric and deliciously macabre black-and-white illustrations bring out the humour and darkness of this unforgettable story with energy, thrilling drama, and a deeply evocative resonance

Chris Mould's graphic, scratchy style, with graphic novel panes and full spreads feels perfectly pitched for this tale of propaganda and power, as relevant today as it was when originally published in 1945

A tale of greed and propaganda that has perhaps never been so timely. Even if you are familiar with the story pick this one up for its simply striking illustrations

[Mould] fills the pages with a macabre theatricality, a graceful terror, brooding and ominous. When the young people you know are properly ready for its bitter narrative then it would be Chris Mould's eloquent and crafty version that I'd heartily recommend they get hold of as an introduction to Orwell's world.
