About This Book

Published in 1937, Of Mice and Men established John Steinbeck as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Two itinerant labourers—the quick-witted George and the gentle, slow Lennie—share a dream of owning their own land in Steinbeck's heartbreaking Depression-era novella. Few American stories have packed more moral weight into fewer pages. Themes of dreams, friendship, disability run through the work. The book has received recognition from BBC Big Read 1937.
