When was Watership Down written?

Answer 1

His daughters, who he told the story to on the way to Stradford-On-Avon, encouraged him to write the story down. He was finally convinced to when he was reading a story to his daughters (the story wasn't very good) until he finally got so frustrated that he threw the book across the room and said, "Good G-d, I could write better myself." One of his daughters said, "Well why don't you, if you keep saying you did so." So he did, and so we have the book Watership Down by Richard Adams.
