Originally published in 1972, Watership Down by Richard Adams went on to win the Library Association Carnegie Medal, and become one of the most beloved fantasy novels ever written. Adams set the novel, his first, in the English countryside near where he grew up. Watership Down can be found in Hampshire, and forms a part of the Berkshire Downs.

The story concerns a warren of rabbits, whose home is about to be razed to make way for a housing development. One of their number, Fiver, has a vision of the destruction to come, and persuades a few others, mostly disgruntled young males, to join him in search of a new home.
