Reviews
"Quite marvelous...A powerful new vision of the great chain of being."--The New York Times Book Review, "Spellbinding...Marvelous...A taut tale of suspense, hot pursuit and derring-do." -- Chicago Tribune, "Quite marvelous...A powerful new vision of the great chain of being." -- The New York Times Book Review, What a relief to read of characters who have honor and courage and dignity, who will risk their lives for others, whose love for their families and friends and community is enduring and effective, To capture the feeling of the verdant English landscape in Richard Adams's "Watership Down" (Atheneum, 496 pages, $29.99), first published in 1972, Aldo Galli painted in the real locations described in the story. In his finely wrought illustrations, the rabbits Hazel and Pipkin crouch beside the real Nuthanger Farm and Hazel, Bigwig and Fiver make their way across the real Hampshire downs. Mr. Galli brings a sense of intensified realism to his depictions in this 40th anniversary edition. Foliage is luxuriantly, impossibly green, and the edges of things-the feathers of birds, the fluff of dandelions-look as sharp as if they were cut from glass. As a gift, this edition would suit anyone over the age of 10, including adults.

    Watership Down was the first novel I read as a child

    Watership Down was the first novel I read as a child. I'm now a 56 year-old teacher, but never forgot the impact this book had on me as a child. The story is a strong depiction of community, overcoming adversities and faith. I don't know why it took me so long to read it again. Wait, yes I do. I've been reading countless other books. I definately reccommend it.

    Perennial Classic

    I read this book many many years ago...then about a month ago a baby bunny came into my life. I am learning much about rabbits- smarter than our dogs, able to problem solve, huge range of dietary items and very affectionate. . So I bought the 5-pack of this classic to re-read give to my friends.

    FANTASTIC BOOK. EXCITING ADVENTURE AND TEAMWORK VALUES

    I’ve always loved this classic fictional novel. It’s compelling adventurous story is easy to read for 5th/6th grade up to adult. We grow to love the characters and miss them right away when the story ends.

    A Classic

    This book has now moved into the category of a clasic. And with good rason. I do my pleasure reading at night lying in bed. This book has been robbing me of sleep since I find it difficult to put down.
