Watership Down

What Robin Hood is to the English and John Henry to the American Negroes, Elil-Hrair-Rah, El-ahrairah - The Prince with a Thousand Enemies - is to rabbits. Uncle Remus might well have heard of him, for some of El-ahrairah's adventures are those of Brair Rabbit. For that matter, Odysseus himself might have borrowed a trick or two from the rabbit hero, for he is very old and was never at a loss for a trick to decieve his enemies.
