(4) YA World Writers series. The life of Eric Blair, who wrote under the pseudonym George Orwell, is recounted in a dutiful style that describes his political activism and literary achievements but fails to bring him fully alive. Readers who know the author primarily from Animal Farm and 1984 may be disappointed that these two works are not discussed at greater length. Average-quality black-and-white photos are interspersed throughout the book. Bib., glos., ind.
