Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

'Watership Down is stunning, compulsive reading ... rich-textured, minutely detailed, inventive, the world seen and known through animal eyes' - Sunday Times 'A gripping story of rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the rebels ... Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which will speak to readers of all ages for many years to come' - Sunday Telegraph 'The best story about wild animals since The Wind in the Willows. If not better ... it is very funny, exciting, often moving ... It is also educative and tough. These animals are shot, gassed, choked in snares. When the bucks fight they rip each other with their claws ... A masterpiece' - Evening Standard 'A great book ... A whole world is created, perfectly real in itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human affairs' - Guardian 'Extraordinary ... magically well-made and memorable' - The New York Times.
