One of the most beloved novels of our time, Watership Down is an epic journey, a stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival.

Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits.

As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

A stirring epic of courage and survival against the odds, Watership Down has become a beloved classic for all ages. Both an exciting adventure story and an involving allegory about freedom, ethics, and human nature, it has delighted generations with its unique and charming world, winning many awards and being adapted to film, television, and theater.

    A triumph of spoken art.

    As read by Peter Capaldi, this classic of classics is a refreshing break from the reality of our everyday lives, what with all the negativity that seems to just get worse. In Watership Down, we are given many uplifting adult lessons by this group of bunnies trying to find peace and some solace from their doomed habitat and venture into the unknown. With so many allegorical messages, along with the charm that Mr. Adams fuses into an epic that entertains both children and adults, one can’t help but wish there were more listening opportunities like this. If you’re familiar with the story, treat yourself to a 3-D version of it as Mr. Capaldi keeps a smile on your face for the many hours of the adventure. Highly recommended.
