Eric Blair chose to write under a pen name before the publication of first book Down and Out in Paris and London.He was worried that his "lower-upper-middle" class parents would be embarrassed of the book's subject matter and that he was surrounding himself with tramps and the homeless.
His Father, Richard Blair, was a lifelong Imperialist who did not agree with his son leaving the Indian Imperial Poice to pursue a career as a writer.
Blair chose 'George' as it was the name of the English King at the time and 'Orwell' after the river that ran through Suffolk where he lived.
