  • "Of Mice and Men was John Steinbeck's first masterpiece. Originally published in 1937, it's the timeless story of George Milton and Lennie Small, ranch hands who drift from job to job, always one step ahead of the law and a few dollars from the poorhouse. George is small, wiry, sharp-tongued and quick-tempered; slow witted Lennie is his opposite--an immense man, brutishly strong but naturally docile, a giant with the mind of a child..."

  • "This classic story of a pair of unlikely friends is probably the most moving of Steinbeck's novels. A discerning comment on the loneliness and alienation of California's farm laborers in the 1930s, Of Mice and Men is also a gripping tale of one man's selfless love for another. Lenny, a lumbering hulk of a man with the mind of a child, and his caretaker and good friend, George, dream of owning a farm together. Now that they've landed a job on a vegetable farm in the Salinas Valley, the dream seems within their grasp. But the boss' son has a flirtatious wife, and guileless Lenny is no match for her. In a few fateful minutes alone with her, he dashes all hope of leading a normal life. And George must make the most difficult decision imaginable. Clarke Peters' powerful narration holds listeners captive in the delicate balance between lush prose and tense foreboding. This is one of those rare books that invariably touches your heart with every encounter."
  • "This classic is about Lenny Small, a huge but weak-minded man, and his protective friend George. They are a couple of itinerant rank workers with a dream ... an impossible dream perhaps, but one they share. It's a tender story of one man caring for his feeble-minded friend, no matter what trouble he gets into."@en
  • "Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own. But after they come to work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry."@en
  • "Tells a story about the strange relationship of two migrant workers, who are able to realize their dreams of an easy life until one of them succumbs to his weakness for soft, helpless creatures and strangles the farmer's wife. Tragic tale of a retarded man and the friend who loves and tries to protect him."
  • "In depression-era California, two migrant workers dream of better days on a spread of their own until an act of unintentional violence leads to tragic consequences. Some strong language."@en
  • "An itinerant worker looks after his mentally retarded cousin, a giant who doesn't know his own strength."@en
  • "Lennie, simple-minded yet strong, is a drifter, and gets work as a farm hand where he can. His fellow drifter, George, protects and exploits him in equal measure. Both men fantasize about owning their own farm someday. However, when they find work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley, Lennie's inability to control his dangerous instincts become a liability for George."
  • "The classic story of two itinerant farm labourers in the Depression in the U.S.A.A simple man's love of beauty causes tragedy."@en
  • "PLAYAWAY. Streetwise George and his big, childlike friend Lennie are drifters, searching for work in the fields and valleys of California. They have nothing except the clothes on their back, and a hope that one day they ll find a place of their own and live the American dream. But dreams come at a price."
  • "Two migrant workers' lives are shattered when one accidentally kills a farmer's wife."@en
  • "Two drifters - small, shrewd George and huge, simple-minded Lennie - get work on a ranch, planning to raise enough money to get a place of their own and live off the land, if George can save his childlike, bull-strong friend from getting into trouble."
