Publisher Description
Now with a new introduction by Madeline Miller, the New York Times bestselling author of The Song of Achilles and Circe.
The 50th anniversary edition of Richard Adam’s timeless classic, the tale of a band of wild rabbits struggling to hold onto their place in the world—“a classic yarn of discovery and struggle” (The New York Times).
A worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Watership Down is one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England’s Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey from their native Sandleford Warren, through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, and toward the dream of a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.
“Spellbinding…Marvelous…A taut tale of suspense, hot pursuit and derring-do.” —Chicago Tribune
Customer Reviews
...
This is the best best book ever written. If anybody disagrees I will punch them.
Why so expensive?
So before I rant, the book itself is an absolute classic...5 out of 5 stars. However, why does a story that is well over 30 years old cost $11? We're talking about an electronic copy of a book here! For that matter, why are any of these books (even new ones) more than $5? Total rip off!
Classic.
This didn't make on the classic list for nothing. All will enjoy reading, I am positive.
