"Country Mouse and the City Mouse" is a charming retelling of Aesop's classic fable. The story follows two mice, one from the peaceful countryside and the other from the bustling city. The Country Mouse visits the City Mouse, who shows him the luxurious lifestyle filled with delicious food and exciting experiences. However, the Country Mouse soon realizes that city life comes with dangers and risks, such as predators lurking around every corner. Ultimately, he learns that a simple, safe life in the country is preferable to the glamorous but perilous existence in the city. The tale emphasizes the values of contentment and safety over wealth and extravagance. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

George Orwell (1903-1950) was born in Bihar, India and was a novelist, journalist, essayist and critic, whose imaginative and insightful works have found their place in the literary hall of fame. He is renowned for writing some of the best political satires and dystopian fiction of the 20th century and books like Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) are modern classics read and re-read by adults and children alike. His narrative non fiction includes nearly 500 essays, book reviews and journalistic pieces, as well as book-length works like Homage to Catalonia (1938), Road to Wigan Pier (1937) and Down and Out in Paris and London (1933). Orwell features among the 50 greatest modern British writers.
