A dyslexia-friendly edition of John Steinbeck’s timeless classic, in a format accessible to all readers. This edition is presented using Barrington Stoke’s specially-designed font, increased spacing and tinted paper.

Savvy George and gentle giant Lennie are drifters, hustling for a living in a string of dead-end jobs. George looks out for Lennie as they move from town to town, running from trouble and dreaming big. A place of their own, a piece of land, a bit of money. But trouble follows Lennie like a shadow, and George has his work cut out to keep him safe.
