Richard Adams
Discover—or revisit—the enchanting world of the Sandleford Warren rabbits in this first-ever illustrated edition of a celebrated modern classic. A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for almost forty years, Richard Adams’s Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England’s Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival follows a band of very special rabbits on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society. A book that speaks to our society as vividly as it did nearly half a century ago, this keepsake Scribner Classic edition showcases more than twenty sumptuous, evocative tip-in paintings from Aldo Galli, an illustrator chosen by Richard Adams himself.

"I really enjoyed the different point of view from the rabbits. They have a tough life and I never actually thought about it before. I fell in love with many characters and bit my lip hoping they would come out alright. I liked the stories they told and the strength they showed. All in all I quite enjoyed it."

"I absolutely adore this book. I have since I was in grade 7. There are some antiquated ideas here and there but otherwise it’s aged marvellously and it’s so engaging. You’re always on the edge of your seat just waiting for what comes next. It was so exciting to read again."
