Watership Down
Richard Adams
adapted and illustrated by James Sturm and Joe Sutphin 2023
Full disclosure, I've actually never read the novel Watership Down by Richard Adams. But I was pleased to find this beautiful graphic version adapted by James Sturm. Appropriate for older children (there is some violence and blood, but nothing too gory), I think it's a great introduction for young readers who might want to go on and read the full sized novel someday. It has kept the thought provoking themes of loyalty, freedom, oppression, and bravery. Joe Sutphin does a particularly wonderful job with the illustrations. (We've already loved his rendering of animal characters in Little Pilgrim's Progress.)
