SynopsisOne of the most beloved novels of our time, Richard Adams's Watership Down takes us to a world we have never truly seen: to the remarkable life that teems in the fields, forests and riverbanks far beyond our cities and towns. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic tale of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community...and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called "home." Watership Down is a remarkable tale of exile and survival, of heroism and leadership...the epic novel of a group of adventurers who desert their doomed city, and venture forth against all odds on a quest for a new home, a sturdier future,

  • Amazing, absorbing novel you won't want to put down.

    This book is beautifully written and when I finished reading it I was sorry the story was over. I can't believe I didn't read it until now, but I just recently heard about and thought I would give it a try. I am going to order more books by this author. Meanwhile, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy.

  • Book better than the movie?

    So did anyone else’s parents let them watch the movie as a child? It was amazing, and it made me always want to read the book! As an adult with my own money, I can finally do that! It is such a good read, it only took me two days to finish it! The condition for the price was admirable and I’m happy with my purchase. I don’t think I’ll let my students get ahold of it, unless of course they ask. Anyways, if you like history or are fascinated by systems, this book is amazing!

    As I am a big fan of this book and the movie, this is a really nice item to have and re-read from time to time. While the book is aged, its still in very readable condition.

  • Truly A Page Turner!

    This book was suggested to me by a friend who believed I would benefit from the story and thus far, she was spot on! The writing is impeccable and I love reading a story from a bunny's point of view. The small dictionary for words used in the book like "Hrududu" (tractor) and "Frith" (sun) add to the charm and inquisitive nature of this book. I highly recommend!
