SynopsisDiscover--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.

Buy A Copy Before It Is Out Of Print!
This book is a genuine collector's item. The illustrations are gorgeous and the quality of the book is outstanding. I'm glad to see that everybody isn't downloading all their books on a microchip ("Kindle") and that a few connoisseurs still prefer the luxury of a high quality, hardback book! Richard Adam's was a great contemporary author. Maia, Shardik and Watership Down are all books to savor and treasure - especially if you have a new or vintage hardback copy. A cheap, paperback copy doesn't come close.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
