(English "The best laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry.") The title is taken from Robert Burns' Scots language poem " To a Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley".
Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences working alongside migrant farm workers as a teenager in the 1910s, before the arrival of the Okies that he would describe in his novel The Grapes of Wrath.
Published in 1937, it narrates the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States. Of Mice and Men is a novella written by John Steinbeck.
