by John Steinbeck

"We have a dream. Someday, we'll have a little house and a couple of acres. A place to call home."  Clinging to each other in their loneliness and desperation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie dream, as drifters will, of a better life and better times.  John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men is their story, set amidst the rustic landscape of  the California Salinas River Valley during the Great Depression.  It is at the same time one of the most controversial and acclaimed novels ever written.  You are invited to share in their desperate struggles, their fleeting triumphs, their lasting friendship, and their timeless journey, as together we read and experience a great American novel...
