Although the animals in the story live in their natural environment, they are anthropomorphised, possessing their own culture, language (Lapine), proverbs, poetry, and mythology. Evoking epic themes, the novel recounts the rabbits odyssey as they escape the destruction of their warren to seek a place in which to establish a new home, encountering perils and temptations along the way
