Of Mice and Men is a novel by the author John Steinbeck,
who won the Nobel Prize. It is set in 1930s California and is
the story of two migrant farm workers, George Milton and
Lennie Small. George thinks quickly, and has a kind heart,
and looks after his friend Lennie Small, who is like a child and
has a simple mind. Physically they are different too; George is
small, with a slim build. while Lennie is tall and his shoulders
are broad. They share a dream that one day they will own their
own ranch. But it all goes wrong when Lennie accidentally
kills someone. The ending breaks your heart, as George kills
Lennie in order to save him from a lynch mob. The novel onlv
has 100 pages, but it is a fantastic read.
