![]() ![]() In any case, I loved it, and if you feel like I do about the original Watership Down then it’s well worth a read. ![]() I’m not completely sure how interesting this book would be to somebody who is not such a big fan of Watership Down, although the stories are entertaining in their own right and don’t rely too heavily on you remembering what happens in the original book. I found it really enjoyable to catch up with the rabbits I remembered from the original book, and to see them forging new relationships with other rabbits who have their own interesting story to tell. ![]() Many of these stories are to do with leadership and how to cope with splits and divisions of opinion so once again you get to see Hazel’s fair and level-headed approach to conflicts and decision-making. TALES FROM WATERSHIP DOWN written by Richard Adams illustrated by John Lawrence published by Hutchinson (STOCK CODE: 1816755) for sale by Stella & Roses. The second half is about what happened to the rabbits in the time after moving to Watership Down, and how they deal with new situations and problems. The first half is made up of new El-ahrairah stories, which although perhaps lose a certain something when not told in the context of a larger story, I still found compelling, mysterious and poignant. Now Richard Adams returns, to tell us what happened. I am a massive fan of Watership Down, which I’ve read countless times both as a child and an adult, so when I discovered only recently that this book existed I had to read it and I wasn’t disappointed. Release date 1996 Watership Down was one of this centurys best-loved works of imaginative literature. ![]()
