In the first issue dustwrapper with the price $1.75 to the front flyleaf and without 'Printed in the USA' statement to the rear flap. George Orwell's monumental satirical allegorical novella. Set on a farm, Orwell looks at a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, reflecting the events leading up to the 1917 Russian Revolution to the Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. Orwell wrote this controversial novella during the period of World War Two in which Britain was in alliance with the Soviet Union against the Nazis. Orwell was distinctly critical of Stalin, the political undertones of this novella leading it to be rejected by a number of publishers, including one of Orwell's own.
