Before serving in the British army during [[World War II]], he had studied modern history at university. He had told the story of ''Watership Down'' originally as a story for his daughters while on a car trip, to which they ask if he can make it into a book. Adams agreed and started writing the story in 1966, taking two years to complete it.

 

A few years after ''Watership Down'' was published, he had become a full-time author and written works like ''The Plague Dogs'', ''Shardik'' and ''Traveller''.
