One of the most beloved novels of our time, Watership Down is an epic journey, a stirring tale of adventure, courage, and survival.

Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits.

As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

A stirring epic of courage and survival against the odds, Watership Down has become a beloved classic for all ages. Both an exciting adventure story and an involving allegory about freedom, ethics, and human nature, it has delighted generations with its unique and charming world, winning many awards and being adapted to film, television, and theater.

The only thing that annoyed the bejesus out of me was the reader's continual pronunciation of the word' length' as 'lenth'. Such a common and lazy trait these days especially amongst the English – who should know better......

Absolute Excellence!

I think Watership Down may be my favourite novel. The narration of this piece has definitely helped in this regard. Can’t recommend this enough.

The best Audible I’ve listened to so far.

Peter Capaldi as the narrator of Watership Down was an inspired choice. I congratulate whoever made that decision. The reading is one of the best, if not the best, I have enjoyed from my many years of Audible subscription. I listen while I walk my dog and had to hide my tears as Mr Capaldi read the last beautiful pages. Do yourself a favour and listen to this wonderful book and sublime narration.
