Because their warren is going to be destroyed by an encroaching housing development, a group of rabbits flees into the unknown. After confronting both danger and temptation to an easy life, they find a new home but then must find female rabbits to join them. If they cannot succeed, they will eventually die out.
One of the most beloved novels of our time, Richard Adams's Watership Down takes us to a world we have never truly seen: to the remarkable life that teems in the fields, forests and riverbanks far beyond our cities and towns. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic tale of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community . . . and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called "home."
