Summary

NOMINATED – CILIP KATE GREENAWAY MEDAL

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.

‘Perfectly pitched.’ WRD Magazine

Critic Reviews

[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.

Just Imagine
Critic Reviews

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

Armadillo Magazine
Critic Reviews

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

Lancashire Post
Critic Reviews

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
