Russell Baker

Russell Baker wrote the preface for George Orwell's Animal Farm and he does a good job explaining the type of book it is. Russell Baker called Animal Farm a "Fairy Story", a political tract, satire, an allegorical lesson, and he compared it to Aesop's Fables. He says this book is laughing at all people who believed a utiopa could be achievable. He goes into detail about how the workings of the book describe what was happening in the Soviet Union, and how some people turned a blind eye until it was too late.
