MONOGRAPHS ABOUT ORWELL

Anytime I saw a book about Orwell, in the library or secondhand, I read it. My collection grew. Quite a few of the following reference works are immaculately preserved first editions, although they have no great monetary value it is their content and the assemblage of so many resources in my library that enriches. It was incredibly useful during COVID lockdowns.

This collection of non fiction about Orwell has quite a few books that I am looking forward to be reading or completing. Those written by people who knew Orwell, sometimes when he was still Eric Blair, are of particular interest.
