My favorite book is Watership Down by Richard Adams, it's about anthropomorphic rabbits & it's wonderful! It has everything: humor, romance, adventure, allusions to classic literature & mythology, drama, heros, villains, mystery, etc. The rabbits have their own language, folklore, legends, & gods so it's an immersive story along the lines of Lord of the Rings. I first read it about fourteen years ago & I've read it countless times since.
That's a funny coincidence...that's my favorite book too. I read it the first time when I was ten and I've probably read it a dozen times now and I get something different out of it everytime I read it it. And you're absolutely right...it has a little bit of everything in it! Have you read the forward from I think it's the 20th anniversary edition that Adams wrote? He had set out to write a children's story...but it's so much more.
