Praise for Watership Down: The Graphic Novel

James Sturm and Joe Sutphin have managed to draw out the heart of this classic, brilliantly adapting it into the graphic novel form. A wonderful way for new readers to discover the story and for hardened fans to reconnect with Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, and the gang.

Joseph Coelho, Waterstones Children’s Laureate, 2022–2024

Watership Down is my favourite book, and I consider it to be one of the very greatest books of all time.

SF SAID, author of Varjak Paw and Tyger

An absolute masterpiece. Whether or not you've read the original, you will be pulled into this visually mind-blowing story that was created with so much care and heart.

Tillie Walden, creator of Clementine

An immersive, breathtaking visual experience that carries readers through all the danger and beauty of this literary classic. Mark my words: this version of Watership Down will be just as influential as the original.
