| | | More than two decades after the publication of his acclaimed classic, "Watership Down", author Richard Adams finally returns to the vivid and remarkable animal world he so masterfully imagined in his earlier work. Here again are Fiver, Bigwig, Hazel, Dandelion--all the victorious heroes of the apocalyptic battle against the evil General Woundwort--as well as a host of endearing new characters and the great champion of rabbit myth, El-ahrairah, in a wonderful collection of new adventures that will delight the millions of "Watership Down" fans, and create many more.
Annotation:
Nineteen stories that continue the adventures of Hazel and the other WATERSHIP DOWN rabbits, including stories of the hero El-ahrairah.

"A follow-up--after 22 years--to the enormously popular rabbit saga, 'Watership Down'....These slender but pleasant tales should pique the curiosity of all 'Watership Down' devotees and provide enjoyment for readers without high expectations." 09/01/1996New York Times Book Review
"Although it's grand to see Mr. Adams's characters again, he doesn't reveal anything particularly new about these familiar personalities, with one exception: the female rabbits, mere plot elements in the first book, are developed here as well-defined individuals. In a nice 90's touch, the doe Hyzenthlay rises to the rank of Co-Chief Rabbit beside hazel, and even gets her own brief solo adventure." - J. D. Biersdorfer 12/01/1996 |
