About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

Dr. Buckles reading me Animal Farm was something I didn't realise I needed. Adam's voices are always great, so are very welcome indeed. Thanks man.

What a treat! Adam Buxton narrating Animal Farm!

Dr. Buckles should be narrating more audiobooks and getting paid loads more then every other audiobook narrator out there.....including Stephen Fry.

Better then Stephen Fry’s version...

Little needs to be said about the power and importance of the story itself. However, the narration by Adam Buxton is exceptional - what a treat!

Outstanding

I had been wanting to read ‘Animal Farm’ for a long time. As I am a HUGE Count Bucules fan, I was delighted to learn that he had been asked to narrate the book and used my credit on it at once! I was not at all disappointed!

Adam’s performance imbues each character with wondrous personality and simultaneously expresses perfectly both the very serious aspects and the more darkly comic moments in the story.

I really hope DR Buckles continues narrating audiobooks and encouraging me to enjoy more modern classics in the future! ❤️

A really fantastic way to experience Animal Farm for the first time!

An absolute joy. Buxton’s masterful rendition is fabulous to behold. His love for the source material is evident, but not so much that it detracts from the text; in fact, I would go so far to say it enhances Orwell’s words. Such a delight. Thanks!

Brilliant
