Is the man who wrote 1984 a Mother Goose for the twenty-first century? The works of famed author and essayist George Orwell are filled with bits of verse, both original and collected, from sources as varied as advertisements, popular songs, and rude graffiti scribbled on the walls of London. Brought together here for the first time, and fully and charmingly illustrated, this poetry of the proletariat paints a grim, cynical--and totally unforgettable--portrait of Orwell's world. And ours.
