George Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. The Orwell Diaries" presents eleven of them covering the period 1931-1949 & follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator. This same acute power of observation is evident in his diaries from Morocco as well as at home where his domestic diaries chart the progress of his garden & animals with a keen eye; the wartime diaries from descriptions of events overseas to the daily violence closer to home describe astutely his perspective on the politics of both & provide a new & entirely refreshing insight into Orwells character & his great works." ...

The volume collects together for the first time ever Orwells writings on his experience of the Spanish Civil War

Pigs might not fly but they are strangely altered. So for that matter are wolves & racoons. A man once named Jimmy lives in a tree wrapped in old bedsheets now calls himself Snowman.

' In Jimmy Atwood has created a great character: a tragic-comic artist of the future part buffoon part Orpheus.
