But when the pigs Napoleon and Snawbaw rise tae pouer, the ither animals find oot that they''re mebbe no aw as equal as they''d aince thocht. A tragic political allegory described by Orwell as bein ''the history o a revolution that went wrang'', this buik is as relevant noo – if no mair sae – as when it wis first set oot.
