“Now here's a book I would have, should have read to bits in grade school! Not foregoing the foreword, I agree--it is indeed written as a fairy tale, one without redemption at the end. This reader is left wondering whether the story would have had more of an impact if one were not aware of the pigs as parallels for Stalin (Napoleon) and Trotsky (Snowball). I'll never know. If I wielded any official authority with the Philippine educational system I would make this required reading at the primary and secondary levels. And for sure measure, again at college! ”
