I Kaninbjerget fortælles om en lille flok unge, vilde kaniner, der anført af den kloge Hassel bryder op fra deres koloni. Hassels bror, Femmer, fornemmer, at kolonien er truet af tilintetgørelse, og hans sjette sans slår aldrig fejl. Derfor forsøger brødrene at overtale så mange kaniner som muligt til at flygte sammen med dem, men ikke mange vil lytte til dem, for det er forår, og græsset er grønt og saftigt. Det lykkes dem dog at samle en lille flok, og i smug forlader de deres fødekolonis trygge rammer. Således begynder en lang og farefuld rejse ud i en stor, ukendt verden i forsøget på at finde det nye, sikre hjem Kaninbjerget, som Femmer har set i et syn. Romanen er en gribende fortælling om eventyr, mod og kampen for overlevelse."Denne historie … er aldeles betagende. Man læser de fire hundrede sider med åndeløs spænding. Det er en født klassiker … Kaninbjerget … er simpelthen et mesterværk. Og hvor man dog lever med, mens man sluger den! Man knytter hænderne, man griner, man får tårer i øjnene, man holder vejret og til sidst ånder man befriet op." – Poul Borum, Ekstra Bladet

In 2019, Richard Adams' wife developed a combination of Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. For four years he has been her full-time carer. He believes he has retained his sanity by getting up early and writing for a couple of hours. It is a kind of therapy, before he goes into the bedroom and announce that he is thinking of getting breakfast. Dementia has robbed his wife the will and the ability to attend to the usual household chores. Sometimes she does not remember who he is. He has slowly come to understand that no one case of dementia is alike, and that there is no one-size-fits-all way of dealing with it. This is his own personal - sometimes very personal - approach. These thirty conversations and reflections record episodes in their relationship and how dementia has impacted upon their lives. He has treated them with honesty and sensitivity, but also with humour, not to make light of what is a difficult experience, but to encourage anyone who is in a similar situation to enjoy a moment of recognition, to smile, even to laugh, but above all to find encouragement, to keep going and be undefeated by the mysterious illness called dementia.

Trouble with prayer? You are not alone. Richard Adams' unusual take on prayer will release you from the burden of thinking there are set ways of praying, and that if your prayers are not answered it must be down to a lack of faith. Discover a God who is NOT up there, out there, somewhere waiting to intervene in the affairs of earth, but a God waiting to be discovered in the ordinary experiences of life and the people you meet. Discover that prayer is not so much a ritual as a way of life.

When one of the handlers fails to close Rowf's cage properly, the two dogs make a daring escape into the English countryside, where they befriend a red fox who helps them survive in the wild.

Quinto, un joven y apacible conejo, sufre unas visiones aterradoras sobre el futuro de su madriguera. Convertido en líder, Quinto y sus inseparables compañeros deciden abandonar cuanto conocen para fundar otro hogar. El viaje para encontrar un buen asentamiento donde empezar una nueva vida, así como las aventuras ligadas a los instintos de supervivencia de estos conejos, serán el eje de esta inolvidable historia. Nacida originalmente de un improvisado relato que Richard Adams contó a sus sobrinos durante un largo viaje en coche, esta novela, protagonizada exclusivamente por conejos, tiene el tono de una narración épica antigua, pero también encierra una aguda crítica de las relaciones de poder, un alegato ecológico de extraordinaria eficacia y una reflexión profunda y serena acerca de la dureza de la vida. La colina de Watership es un clásico de la literatura contemporánea traducido a más de veinte idiomas, que «mucho antes de Harry Potter cautivó la imaginación del público desde su aparición en 1972 hasta nuestros días y que ha vendido millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo», The Telegraph; «Esta historia bellísimamente escrita e intensamente conmovedora es la obra de una imaginación extraordinaria», Sunday Telegraph. Recuperación de un clásico de Seix Barral.
