description: One of the most beloved novels of our time, Richard Adam's Watership Down takes us to a world we have never truly seen: to the remarkable life that teems in the fields, forests and riverbanks far beyond our cities and towns. It is a powerful saga of courage, leadership and survival; an epic take of a hardy band of adventurers forced to flee the destruction of their fragile community ... and their trials and triumphs in the face of extraordinary adversity as they pursue a glorious dream called 'home.'
