Watership Down, the best selling classic by Richard Adams, was originally created during a car trip. He told the story to his two daughters who convinced him to write it down after he finished it. The story was turned down by 4 publishers and 3 writers’ agencies before it was finally published, selling over a million copies worldwide. It also won Adams the Carnegie Medal award and the Guardian Children’s Fiction prize, making him one of only six authors to win both awards.
