Richard Adams

Richard Adams — one title in the rankings.

Editor’s note British writer known above all for Watership Down, which began as stories told to his daughters on car journeys: a band of rabbits, warned by the small seer Fiver that their warren will be destroyed, sets out under the reluctant leadership of Hazel to find a new home. An epic of courage, politics and myth, with its own rabbit language and legends, it is far darker than its reputation as a children’s book suggests. His other novels have too few ratings here to rank.
