Watership Down
Overview & Summary
When a young rabbit named Fiver has a terrifying premonition that their warren is doomed, he convinces a small band of rabbits to flee in search of a new home, and the group faces predators, hostile rival warrens, and the challenge of building a new, freer society along the way. Richard Adams's 1972 novel is an epic adventure told entirely from the rabbits' perspective, with its own invented rabbit language, mythology, and folklore.
