Of Mice and Men
A dream so simple it should be easy. Steinbeck shows you exactly why it is not. You will feel it long after the last page.

The Dream of the Farm
John Steinbeck's 1937 novella follows George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced ranch workers during the Great Depression who share a dream of one day owning a small piece of land where Lennie can tend rabbits. When they arrive at a new ranch in California's Salinas Valley, their dream comes closer than ever before. But Lennie's great physical strength and childlike mind create a tension the world will not allow to resolve peacefully. The novel was a bestseller and adapted into a hit Broadway play within the same year of publication.

Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place.

Steinbeck's dog actually ate an early draft of the manuscript. He had to rewrite it from memory over a two-month period. He was philosophical about it, saying the dog had not been entirely wrong to do so.
