About this listen

Manor Farm has reinvented itself as the South of England's premium petting zoo. Now, instead of a working farm, humans and beasts alike are invited (for a small fee) to come and stroke, fondle, and take rides on the farm's inhabitants.

But life is not a bed of roses for the animals, in spite of what their leaders may want them to believe. Elections are rigged, the community is beset by factions, and sacred mottos are being constantly updated. The Farm is descending into chaos. What's more, a mysterious ‘illness' has started ripping through the animals, killing them one by one…

In Beasts of England, Adam Biles honours, updates and subverts George Orwell's classic, all the while channelling the chaotic, fragmentary nature of populist politics in the Internet age into a savage farmyard satire.

I found this story fascinating in its relevance to recent political events. Whilst intriguing and amusing at times, it was also terribly sad. However, unlike it’s inspirational novel, it does give some hope - or at least I want to think so. Anyone who has read Animal Farm and followed recent politics will will want to read this sequel.

Thought provoking

Orwell's masterpiece has been updated to reflect the horrors of Boris Johnson era England

A truly appropriate sequel to Animal Farm
