Richard Adams’ 1977 novel The Plague Dogs follows two mistreated Labradors as they escape a research station and race across England’s wildest fells, pursued by scientists, hunters, and the press. This first-edition hardcover preserves the tense, emotional journey that made the book a modern animal-fiction classic.

The volume comes jacketed and illustrated, its 461 pages clean and tight after decades in a smoke-free home. A vintage treasure for collectors of Richard Adams first editions or 1970s hardcover fiction, it sits comfortably on shelves devoted to animal stories, British literature, or quality antiquarian books.

Ideal for young-adult and adult readers who loved Watership Down and seek another sweeping animal adventure, this copy offers the original text and artwork without ex-library marks or inscriptions. Secure a piece of literary history and experience Adams’s powerful plea for compassion.
