Okay, this isn't Christian nonfiction, or a book on how to do your job better, or anything like that. But I just finished Watership Down by Richard Adams, and it was delightful! I had to share.
I grew to love the bunnies in this book, and I miss being in the world of Hazel and Fiver, Bigwig and Pipkin. The book follows the adventures of a band of rabbits who manage to escape the destruction of their home, only to face many more obstacles trying to find a safe place for themselves. The rabbits have their own language, they do some un-rabbit-like things, and some have the gift of foreknowledge. But other than that, it's set in the real world. Adams did a great job of immersing you into the life of rabbits, even making up rabbit legends. It's filled with suspense and adventure, but also joy and goodness. If you enjoy children's lit at all, you should read this.
