All the world will be your enemy
Prince with a thousand enemies
And when they catch you, they will kill you...

But first, they must catch you.

Digger...

Listener...

Runner...

Prince with the swift warning.
Be cunning and full of tricks
And your people shall never be destroyed.

Why I love 'Watership Down'

Although the story is not really aimed at children, I read the book when I was about 11. I saw the animated movie soon after this. Despite the storyline being anything other than sugar-coated, I really loved it, and it certainly captured my attention. I have never forgotten this story. It is strangely unforgettable, giving the story from the viewpoint of the rabbits and providing a realistic storyline. It's a classic.
