The classic tale of leadership and exile, heroism and survival springs to life in this stunning graphic novel edition.When Hazel’s younger brother Fiver, a rabbit seer of Sandleford warren, sees a frightening vision of their home’s imminent destruction, Hazel, Fiver, and nine other rabbits from their warren embark on a dangerous journey to find Watership Down, the refuge promised in Fiver’s visions. On the way, they are forced to elude many perils, including Sandleford’s military caste, a host of animal predators, oblivious humans, and the ruthless rabbit chief General Woundwort.
Authorized by Richard Adams’s daughters, for whom he wrote and dedicated the original novel, this masterful graphic adaptation by award-winning author James Sturm faithfully reimagines this timeless story of war, hope, courage, and friendship. With vivid illustrations by bestselling artist Joe Sutphin, this gorgeous rendering of a beloved classic brings fresh urgency to a new generation of readers. Richard Adams (May 9, 1920–December 24, 2016), an English veteran of World War II, originally told the story of Watership Down to his two daughters, who insisted he publish it as a book. It became an instant classic, selling over a million copies in both the United Kingdom and the United States, winning both the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize in 1972. His other books include Shardik, Maia, Tales from Watership Down, The Girl in a Swing, and The Plague Dogs. James Sturm’s graphic novels include Off Season, The Golem’s Mighty Swing, and Market Day; he co-authored the popular instructional series for children Adventures in Cartooning with Andrew Arnold and Alexis Frederick-Frost. Winner of two Eisner Awards, Sturm co-founded the Seattle alternative weekly The Stranger and The Center for Cartoon Studies, where he currently serves as director.
Joe Sutphin is an illustrator of books for kids such as Helen Taylor’s Little Pilgrim’s Progress, Andrew Peterson’s Wingfeather Saga, and the New York Times bestseller Word of Mouse by James Patterson. His love of nature, and of the living creatures in the fields and woods around his home, has informed his art for much of his life. Joe lives in a barn in Ohio with his wife, Gina, and a bunch of cats. CN
