Drifters 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 - struggling against extreme cruelty,misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - 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.
