About this listen

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.

As great an audio book as you could ever ask for. Peter Capaldi does a wonderful job - aptly using his acting abilities to their best. He brings each character to life and his deep voice is very comforting and positively silken to listen to. I'm not sure why you'd ever need a different version :)

Fantastic and comforting

The narrator added so many layers to a childhood classic with the accents for each character - I adored that Kehaar was exactly as I had imagined him as a ten year old child. ❤

I watched the film when I was much younger but had never read it or listened to the story until now, I always thought it would be sad and it is but it's also very thought provoking and captivating.

An incredible story
