A rabbit community in search of a home

Set in the English Downs, Watership Down turns the search for safety into a story about a community under pressure. A band of rabbits leaves its home as human activity threatens their warren, then faces predators and other adversaries on the journey ahead. The novel’s animal society and the brothers leading the group frame questions of survival, belonging, and the possibility of building a better home. Its rural setting and focus on collective struggle give the adventure a wider scope than a single escape: the rabbits’ destination is tied to the hope of a different kind of society.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in animal-centered adventure and stories of migration or survival.
  • Those drawn to fictional communities and questions of how societies are formed.
  • Readers seeking a classic novel set in the English countryside.

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.
