Traveller

A brave man and a brave horse, riding together into battle-each depending on the other, even communing with the other-make for one of the most memorable and moving stories of the Civil War ever written.

Robert E. Lee's gallant and beloved horse Traveller has become the stuff of legend. In this novel Richard Adams, who made us believe so deeply in the rabbit sensibilities of "Watership Down," has found a compelling, beguiling new voice. Simple and powerful, Traveller's unique point of view creates a vivid, stunning and emotionally devastating portrait of the Civil War. He brings us magically and freshly close to Robert E. Lee and to his tragic but heroic South.
