Of Mice and Men

Summary: George and Lennie are travelling farm workers who stick together, George more or less looking after Lennie, who has an intellectual disability. The two men begin work on a farm that is owned by a man with a son who is always ready to fight and who has a wife who the men suspect of being a floozy.

This short book explores the difficulties encountered by poor farm workers in the 1930s as well as the treatment of people of color, women, and people with intellectual disabilities.
