A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for almost forty years, Richard
Adams’ 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 trial posed
by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a
more perfect society. -Amazon.com
