Abstract

This is a work of fiction. It imagines that Orwell’s Animal Farm is not a work of fiction, but a fictionalized chronicle of real events disguised as a fairy tale. One fine day, an international organisation (which resembles the UN but is not) finds out the truth. All sorts of wild consequences ensue, including the discovery of a new brand of legal positivism and the holding of an unprecedented international criminal trial.
