Watership Down

Author: Richard Adams

“Watership Down” by Richard Adams is a timeless tale that captivated me from the first page. Following a band of brave rabbits fleeing their doomed warren, the story is a rich tapestry of adventure, friendship, and survival. Each character, from the visionary Fiver to the steadfast Hazel, feels incredibly real. The novel’s blend of mythology and naturalism creates a world that’s both familiar and fantastical. It’s a journey that stays with you long after the final page.

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.
