THIS LITTLE PIGGY

Seven animal generations after George Orwell¹s pigs shook hands with their former masters, Animal Farm has become Animal Pharaceuticals ­ a giant, multi-national conglomerate of farms, firms and factories.

At the edge of the known world is its forgotten outpost ­ a small laboratory. In it, the occupant's ­ a pig, a sheep and horse ­work tirelessly, testing products and doing to themselves what was done to them.

Their life of experimentation is interrupted by notice of an impending visit from HQ and the animals ready themselves for just reward.

But the detail is always in the fine print.

This Little Piggy is a visceral, contemporary fable from award-winning writer Louise Fox.
