 BookPage Fiction Review: The Tales from Watership Down
Richard Adams has once again succeeded in transforming a human world into a warren of rabbits.
In the sequel, Adams uses the three storytelling devices he used in the original: a collection of "rabbit" short stories, several narrations of the mythological adventures of El-ahrairah (the rabbit folk hero), and the continuing experiences of the main characters themselves.
And like Milne, Orwell, and Carroll, Richard Adams weaves a narrative that makes it easy for the most sensible of adults to become lost in a reality which does not exist.

Author Richard Adams saw this and took it a step further in 'Watership Down', the classic tale about bunnies on the run.
In 1978 director Martin Rosen brought the story of Fiver, Bigwig and Hazel to the screen in his animated rendering of the novel — a road movie for the furry buggers.
This bloody, chilling, touching and memorable film captures all of the essential themes in Adams’ book but without the depth of metaphor.
