Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrifters 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 becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Such a perfect book' - Nick Hornby\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Steinbeck","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56153790382405,"sku":"9780241620236","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/3721\/6069\/files\/9780241620236_2684a4e0-183f-4f8e-af7a-5e56a7d296d1.jpg?v=1773739999","url":"https:\/\/stripyduckbookshopcafe.co.uk\/products\/9780241620236","provider":"The Stripy Duck Bookshop Café","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
