AW ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MAIR EQUAL THAN ITHERS
It didnae seem unco when Napoleonwis seen daunderin aboot the fairmhoosegairden wi a pipe in his mooth...
Frae the instant o its first publication ower seeventy year syne,Animal Fairm,in mony weys,has come tae be oor socio-political urtext - oor wan-singer-wan-sang,oor collective pairty piece,the script we're doomed tae keep repeatin...
George Orwell's faur-kent novel Animal Fairm,yin o Time magazine's 100 brawest English-leid novels o aw time,has been translatit intae Scots for the verra first time by Thomas Clark.
When the animals o Manor Fairm cast aff thirldom an tak control frae Mr Jones,they hae howps for a life o freedom an equality. But when the pigs Napoleon and Snawbaw rise tae pouer,the ither animals find oot that they're mebbe no aw as equal as they'd aince thocht. A tragic political allegory described by Orwell as bein'the history o a revolution that went wrang',this buik is as relevant noo - if no mair sae - as when it wis first set oot.

MEDIA REVIEWS
This is a modern Scots masterpiece. - ASHLEY DOUGLAS,Writer and translator
Bi ane o the skeeliest makars scrievin in Scots the day. - BILLY KAY,Writer
(Animal Fairm) thus allows a large segment of the population of Scotland to appreciate Orwell's classic in a language that means much to them. It should also serve as a very useful primer for others whose acquaintance with the language is more passing but who want to gain a better understanding of it. - UNDISCOVERED SCOTLAND
The Note and his Introduction... aside from his wry,self-deprecating humour,they made me keen to learn more about the language,to learn to read it better,not just read his translation. - IAN CHADWICK
