Watership Down by Richard Adams has become one of the most famous animals adventures ever written.
Richard Adams (Author)
Richard Adams grew up in Berkshire, the son of a country doctor.
After an education at Oxford, he spent six years in the army and
then went into the Civil Service. He originally began telling the
story of Watership Down to his two daughters and they insisted he
publish it as a book. It quickly became a huge success with both
children and adults, and won the Guardian Children's Fiction Award
and the Carnegie Medal in 1972. Richard Adams wrote many novels and
short stories, including Shardik and The Plague Dogs. He died in
2016, aged 96.
A treacherous journey and quest for survival - one to pick up, time
and time again
*The Guardian*
Beautifully evoking the Berkshire countryside in poetic language,
it is an exciting, moving and powerful novel.
*Book Trust*
Beautifully written with some of the best characterisation you'll
come across in children's literature, it tells the story of a group
of rabbits and their will to survive despite human attempts to do
otherwise. Full of adventure, humour, excitement and sadness it
will enthral as much now as it did when it was first published
