Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: beautiful, pocketable editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the breadth and diversity of Penguin Classics, they travel from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, from a chess game on the open ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. George and Lennie are drifters in search of work with nothing to their names but the clothes on their backs and a shared dream of one day owning their own land. They find employment on a Californian ranch in the Salinas Valley — but their hopes are shattered when Lennie is undone by his own strength. Exploring universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving voice to the lonely and dispossessed of America, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck’s most beloved work, achieving success as a novel, a Broadway play and in three acclaimed film adaptations. ‘Such a perfect book’ Nick Hornby
