Annotation: An enduring classic and the first in a groundbreaking duology, ‘Watership Down’ tells the story of a band of rabbits fleeing from the destruction of their warren, and the men that destroyed it. When Fiver, a young rabbit foresees great danger approaching his home, he, his brother and nine other rabbits escape Watership Down in search of somewhere new, along the way the gang meets many a danger. Ultimately, ‘Watership Down’ is a novel about surviving in a changing world and the destruction of our environment. I shall leave you with one quote that bears remarking, “Men will never rest till they’ve spoiled the earth and destroyed the animals.”
