Watership Down by Richard Adams

5.0

---

This was a book I somehow missed reading when I was a kid! There are some books that are better read at a certain time in your life, but this is a beloved classic that has stood the test of time for a reason.  Despite the violence and gore at the dramatic moments, it’s darling, and I got pretty wrapped up in the world of rabbits.  It's a cozy book that lets me experience the smells and beauty and perils of nature without leaving my couch. Spoilers: after tricks and troubles and head-butting with other warrens and creatures, the rabbits live happily ever after on the hill, eating grasses in the balmy sunlight and avoiding elil.
