Our full review can be seen at https://writing-service.org/
A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for over forty years, Richard Adams’ spellbinding classic Watership Down is one of the best-loved novels of all time. Set in the beautiful English countryside of the Berkshire Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival follows a band of very special rabbits fleeing the destruction of their home by a developer. Led by a stout-hearted pair of brothers, they leave the safety of Sandleford Warren in search of a safe haven and a mysterious promised land, skirting danger at every turn.
A book that resonates as vividly today as it did nearly half a century ago, this keepsake Oneworld Classic edition showcases more than twenty sumptuous, evocative paintings from Aldo Galli, an illustrator chosen by Richard Adams himself.

'This new edition is quite spectacular'
Bill Heine, BBC Radio Oxford‘Watership Down is stunning, compulsive reading.’
Sunday Times'A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs.'
Guardian‘This beautifully written and intensely moving story is the work of an extraordinary imagination.’
Sunday Telegraph‘An impressive, immensely readable story, held together over 400 pages by a powerful imagination that soon forbids disbelief.’
New Statesman'A masterpiece. The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows. Very funny, exciting, often moving.'
Evening Standard
