Publisher's Summary
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.

Absolute Excellence!
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......

Watership Down.
This book is a great literary work. I would read it over and over again. It is a book that you would want to read day and night. I only came to know of this book in school, and I am glad that is was set for me to read. The Author is a genius in story writing and telling. My favourite part of the book is where the battle is finished and there is peace once more on the down. Now Professor Richard Adams If you read this I want to say thank you for writing something like this. I was exited from the moment I opened the book. Thank you to the publishers of the book for making the book known. Thank you to Audible for putting it on your audio. Thank you Professor Peter Capaldi for reading the book it was amazing thank you. Thank you to all the people for making the experience possible for me.

Magnificent performance of an epic story
Can't recommend this enough. Extraordinarily imaginative storytelling, a beautiful way of putting you in the mindset of the bravest rabbits in history. Everything is an allegory. And Capaldi's performance is incredible, giving each of about twenty key characters a beautifully rounded voice and emotional journey of their own. Worthy of the book itself!

A great reading
Watership Down is my favourite book. I’ve read it several times but not listened to an audio reading before.
Peter Capaldi doesn’t great job.

Gorgeous!
I'm in my 40s and have never read this story before, but I loved it. Beautifully written, and superb narration by Capaldi. I could listen to him for hours!

17 hrs and 31 mins of pleasure
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.

Msterfullly written, masterfully told
I was completely engrossed listening to this wonderful story. I had only ever watched the movie until now, in my 50s decided to listen on Audible. There is nothing to replace the narrator, he was superb in rendering such appropriate uniqueness to each rabbit.

Capaldi makes magic
What a great actor. Capaldi does so many convincing voices, and instills the story with energy in all the right places. I'm listening again.
