Of Mice and Men

A compelling story of two outsiders striving to find their place in an unforgiving world, John Steinbeck´s Of Mice and Men includes an introduction by Susan Shillinglaw in ´Penguin Classics´.

Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California´s Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength.
