Book Reviews of War with the Newts (European Classics)
Book Review: Classic allegory
Summary: 5 Stars
A great allegory, up there with Animal Farm, and more apposite than ever. This is not the most recent translation, but the language of this reissue is charmingly of its period ('dated', if you will!); though I can't speak for its accuracy, readibility is preferable, no?
