A Longa Jornada

The world-building in Watership Down feels so rich and immersive. I'm curious whether Adams drew from existing folklore or crafted it entirely from his imagination.

The story tackles heavy themes like leadership and sacrifice without feeling heavy-handed. How did these themes resonate with others who read it as kids or adults?

The detailed descriptions of the rabbits’ environment seem to emphasize respect for nature. Did this impact how others viewed their relationship with the natural world?
