The animals on Mr. Jone's farm stage a successful revolution, and take the place over. Their hopes, their plans, and their achievements form the subject of this classic. In the first flush of enthusias there is set up a great commandment, All animals are equal, but unfortunately leadership devolves almost automatically on the pigs, who are on a higher intellectual level than the rest. "A wide, compassionate and illuminating fable for our time...." - The New York Times
