To Orwell Today,

Hi Jackie,

Found these two books in a funny little bookstore in Fort Lauderdale.

Thought you might have readers asking for Orwell classics.

XO,
Dad

Greetings Dad,

Thanks a million for the wonderful Christmas gift of the Orwell books, especially the hardcover, first-edition ANIMAL FARM which I've never seen before - always I've just seen softcover editions.

What makes it even more wonderful is that it's an illustrated edition and, on top of that, it's illustrated by Halas & Batchelor, about whom, and with whom, I've corresponded on ORWELL TODAY. They animated the original ANIMAL FARM movie back in 1954 and it's far superior to the Hollywood version that came out in 1999. See 1954 ANIMAL FARM ORIGINAL DVD & 1954 ANIMAL FARM BONAFIDE HALAS

Thanks also, Dad, for the paperback version of NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR -- it's an old Brooklyn Library copy from 1952 -- and has a good write-up describing "The Strange World of 1984...A Man and Woman in Love...A Prophecy of the Future".

I'll put this latest addition alongside its siblings on the 1984 CHERISHED BOOK COVERS shelf.

All the best,
Jackie Jura
