\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em>Richard Adams was born in Newbury, Berkshire, on May 9, 1920. He attended Horris Hill School from 1926 to 1933 and then to Bradfield College between 1933 and 1938. Watership Down began as a car story for his two daughters. Thrilled with the adventurous tales of rabbits, dangerous journeys, and loyal friendships, the girls convinced their father to write the story down and publish it. He started writing in the year 1966 and it was completed two years later. The book was published in November, 1972. This is a marvellous work of fiction.<\/p>\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One day Fiver, who is Hazel\u2019s brother, foresees danger approaching their warren. However, when the brothers try to convince the rest of the warren to come with them and thus escape the danger, the warren ignores them and only a few friends listen. Hazel, Fiver, and their rabbit friends embark on the dangerous journey to build a new warren. When they finally reach their destination, which is a place Fiver has seen in a vision, and dug their warren, there is still one difficulty in the completion of their warren. They don\u2019t have any does and without them the warren will die off. Hazel, Fiver, and their friends once again embark on a dangerous mission but this time it is to save their newly established warren.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Watership down is an exuberant story full of adventure and survival. It is well written with each chapter ending in a cliffhanger compelling the reader to read on. It is also delightful when the rabbits tell each other stories. When they do, the author makes the reader feel like he or she is in the story with the characters, gathered around the storyteller listening. Unfortunately, Richard Adams made up a few words in a rabbit language that are tricky to pronounce. Despite these occasional words it is an exceedingly thrilling tale and a must read.<\/p>\n
