The 50th anniversary edition of Richard Adams’s timeless classic tells the story of a group of wild rabbits trying to hold on to their place in the world. The New York Times called it “a classic yarn of discovery and struggle.” Watership Down is one of the most popular books of all time. It has been a bestseller around the world for more than thirty years. This moving story takes place in England’s Downs, a once-beautiful rural area, and follows a group of very special creatures as they flee from the intrusion of man and the inevitable destruction of their home. With the help of two brave brothers, they leave their home in Sandleford Warren and face the terrifying challenges posed by predators and enemies on their way to the dream of a mysterious promised land.
