40th anniversary edition of the picaresque saga about a motley band of rabbits that is one of the most beloved novels of our time

Sandleford Warren is in danger. Hazel's younger brother Fiver is convinced that a great evil is about to befall the land, but no one will listen. And why would they when it is Spring and the grass is fat and succulent? So together Hazel and Fiver and a few other brave rabbits secretly leave behind the safety and strictures of the warren and hop tentatively out into a vast and strange world.

Chased by their former friends, hunted by dogs and foxes, avoiding farms and other human threats, but making new friends, Hazel and his fellow rabbits dream of a new life in the emerald embrace of Watership Down . . .

Praise for Watership Down

A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs

Guardian

Stunning and compulsive reading

Sunday Times

A gripping story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels. Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which will speak to readers of all ages for many years to come

A masterpiece. The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows. Very funny, exciting, often moving

Extraordinary . . . magically well-made and memorable
