Watership Down
£8.99
40th anniversary edition of Richard Adams’ picaresque saga about a motley band of rabbits – Watership Down is one of the most beloved novels of our time.
Sandleford Warren is in danger. Hazel’s younger brother Fiver is convinced that a great evil is about to befall the land, but no one will listen. And why would they when it is Spring and the grass is fat and succulent? So together Hazel and Fiver and a few other brave rabbits secretly leave behind the safety and strictures of the warren and hop tentatively out into a vast and strange world. Chased by their former friends, hunted by dogs and foxes, avoiding farms and other human threats, but making new friends, Hazel and his fellow rabbits dream of a new life in the emerald embrace of Watership Down . .
. ‘A gripping story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels. Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which will speak to readers of all ages for many years to come’ Sunday Times’A masterpiece.
‘The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows. Very funny, exciting, often moving’ Evening Standard
‘A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs’ Guardian.
Richard Adams grew up in Berkshire, the son of a country doctor. After an education at Oxford, he spent six years in the army and then went into the Civil Service. He originally began telling the story of Watership Down to his two daughters and they insisted he publish it as a book. It quickly became a huge success with both children and adults, and won the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal in 1972.
