Reviews
“An intriguing and magnificently researched book”—George Orwell Studies; “Orwell fans will appreciate the deep erudition and passion the author has for his subject... Written in a warm and engaging style, Ryan avoids a merely chronological progression of facts, figures, summaries and detail by sprinkling amusing and insightful anecdotes, gleaned from a wide variety of sources, about each production...shows us what has been lost from the historical, audio-visual record...essential reading for scholars, teachers, students and an ever growing legion of Orwell fans. It is both a good reference tool and enjoyable read.”—The Orwell Society; “Punctiliously assembled every adaptation, documentary and ‘docudrama’ brought to film and television alongside a great deal of amusing commentary”—The Times Literary Supplement (England).
