Of Mice and Men (New Edition)

They are an impossible combine: George is "little and brisk and dim of face"; Lennie, a man of huge size, has the psyche of a youthful tyke. However they have framed a "family," sticking together even with depression and estrangement. Workers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth presence. For George and Lennie have an arrangement: to possess a section of land of land and a shack they can call their own. When they get employments on a farm in the Salinas Valley, the satisfaction of their fantasy is by all accounts inside their grip. In any case, even George can't protect Lennie from the incitements of a coy lady, nor foresee the results of Lennie's unswerving acquiescence to the things George educated him.
