If you look into Watership Down, you can draw allegorical conclusions about the superiority of democracy of the other represented forms of government (totalitarianism and communism). But it is also a story of perseverance, courage, loyalty, survival, and community. All from rabbits. If you can handle the dark images of the story, it is a timeless read. It is also something that makes you think about the impact of humanity on nature, from the perspective of something that dwells in nature. Every time I read the book, it feels like more than just a children’s book.
