Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie, have  nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream  that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find  work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are  dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding  and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength.  Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a  voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.
