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.
Days before his death, old Major the pig ignites the flames of rebellion among the animals of Manor Farm, where Mr Jones rules with cruelty and neglect. Led by pigs Napoleon and Snowball, the farm animals unite to overthrow their human owners and reclaim their freedom. Although they envision a society built on equality and shared labour, as time passes and the pigs consolidate their newfound power, the line between liberators and tyrants becomes increasingly blurred.
Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully “deft and dark”, Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream – something she was always in trouble for at school!
