Watership Down

Watership Down by Richard, Adams, David, Parkins is a classic animal adventure novel with the heart of an epic quest, perfect for readers who love immersive storytelling and a richly realised natural world. With the new BBC/Netflix animation shining a fresh light on the tale, it’s a great time to discover (or revisit) this modern favourite.

When the sensitive, uncanny Fiver senses catastrophe brewing in their home warren, his brother Hazel chooses to trust him—no small thing in a tight-knit rabbit community. A small group breaks away into the open, crossing dangerous fields and strange territories in search of safety, guided by instinct, courage and hard-won leadership.

Ideal for fans of literary fiction, survival stories, and nature-based fantasy, as well as younger readers ready for a thoughtful, suspenseful read. Add this beloved Australian-bookshelf staple to your next order and follow the rabbits into the wild.
