George and Lennie are migrant American labourers. George protects his strong but stupid friend and shares with him a dream of one day settling down and farming their own land. Lennie will look after the rabbits and they will be answerable to no-one. Can the great American dream come true for this hopeful couple? --back cover

The famous Mark Twain quote "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one" is now considered to be a misattribution, that Twain never said.

Nonetheless, whoever did say it - this book made me think of it. Truly it takes skill, craft, and artistry to write well and also be succinct.

This book feels perfect not because there's nothing else to add, but because there's nothing else to take away.

This book captured my imagination in 120 pages. And now it will stay with me for a while.
