The author of Watership Down is in a fight to stop a development company from paving over the sandleford warren where the book was set. In a depressing case of life imitating art, the company is planning to use the site to build over 2000 homes.
Watership Down author in fight to stop destruction of real life warren where book was set
To destroy such a peaceful part of nature is heartless on its own, but to destroy a part of our culture, the world's culture (Watership Down has been translated into more than 50 languages), is horrific.
Also I want to see the damn place at least once.
