Orwell's Animal Farm, First Edition

First Edition of Animal Farm

"No parable written since Gulliver's Travels is equal in profundity and mordant satire to Animal Farm."

Arthur Koestler

 

ORWELL, George. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story. London, Secker & Warburg, 1945. Octavo, original green cloth, original dust jacket. 

First edition, in rare dust jacket. Book near-fine, dust jacket with some soiling to rear panel, light chipping to spine ends and folds. An excellent copy of a notoriously fragile book.
