Guys like us that work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world They got no family They dont belong no placeGeorge and his large simpleminded friend Lennie are drifters following wherever work leads them Arriving in Californias Salinas Valley they get work on a ranch If they can just stay out of trouble George promises Lennie then one day they might be able to get some land of their own and settle down some place But kindhearted childlike Lennie is a victim of his own strength Seen by others as a threat he finds it impossible to control his emotions And one day not even George will be able to save him from troubleOf Mice and Men is a tragic and moving story of friendship loneliness and the dispossessed with a stunning new cover by renowned artist Bijou Karman
