A rabbit community in search of a home

Set in the English Downs, Watership Down frames a journey of survival as a struggle over home, safety, and the possibility of building a better society. A band of rabbits leaves its threatened warren and faces dangers from predators and adversaries along the way, while the hope of a new settlement gives the journey a larger purpose. The animal protagonists place the story within a natural world shaped by both human intrusion and the risks of the countryside. Its central concerns—displacement, leadership, and communal life—connect the expedition across the Downs to questions of how a group can endure and find a place to belong.

Book overview

Richard Adams' timeless classic, the tale of a band of wild rabbits struggling to hold onto their place in the world--now in a gorgeous new package designed for the modern reader.

A worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Watership Down is one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale 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 from their native Sandleford Warren, through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, and toward the dream of a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.
