Close to my heart, but I've never actually read the book!!! I know my daughter (left home) has this so I'm going to borrow it and read it at last. I watched the film so many times, as a child and my parents back in the eighties had a book with film images I'd spend hours over. I actually live down the road from Watership down, in Newbury and my mum always told me the housing development in it was either Sandleford rise a very bad area here, since been regenerated or Wash common, another housing area (not needing regenerated!). It looks like the 'say no to Sandleford' battle of recent days has been lost, 10 minutes from my house. We frequently walk the dogs across the fields there. Thanks for reminding me about the book, I'm really looking forward to reading it and always think of the rabbits whenever I drive past Watership down, with the hill and the tree on the A34.
