Twenty-first printing stated at copyright page; scarce edition matching first edition in size, design, and dimensions. 1977 copyright by Sonia Brownell Orwell. Sonia Mary Brownell (August 1918 - December 1980), better known as Sonia Orwell, was the second wife of George Orwell. She is thought to be the model for Julia, the heroine of 1984. In her life, she collaborated with the Information Research Department (IRD), a wing of the British Foreign Office, increasing world distribution of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four to certain countries. With her support, the IRD translated Animal Farm into over sixteen languages for British embassies to disseminate in over a dozen countries. Soon after George Orwell passed, Sonia sold the movie rights to Animal Farm to the Central Intelligence Agency resulting in the creation of the film Animal Farm (1954), becoming the first animated feature made in Britain.
