A book about the adventures of rabbits looking for a new home? It sounds silly, but don't let that fool you into thinking this is just a book for kids. This is a thoughtful character study and an exciting adventure story that you'll probably want to reread in a few years. (I've read it at least five or six times over the past forty years.)
PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: Watership Down is the compelling tale of a group of wild rabbits struggling to hold onto their place in the world.
A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for more than forty years, Richard Adams's Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.
I've read this book and think it would be a fun read.
