Watership Down: 40th Anniversary Edition
Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, Watership Down is a stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival that follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man, and the almost certain destruction of their home.
Led by a stout-hearted pair of friends, 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.
