John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is regarded as a truly classic piece of literature, telling the story of two men in 1937 who have slipped through the cracks of the American dream.

George and Lennie are homeless agricultural workers who cling to an unlikely friendship and drift from one poorly paid farm job to another. George is quick-witted and lean; Lennie is simple-minded and built like a bull.

They sustain their hard lives by dreaming of having a place of their own by a river, with a field of alfalfa for a cow and the rabbits that Lennie longs to tend. "We'll live off the fat of the land," George promises Lennie. As the dream comes within reach, things go awry.
