What to expect
Tales from Watership Down is the enchanting sequel to Richard Adams’s classic Watership Down, a #1 New York Times bestseller and winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Award.
Adams returns to the vivid and distinctive world he created in that enduring work, reacquainting readers with the animal characters we know and love, including Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, Dandelion, and the legendary rabbit hero El-ahrairah. These compelling tales include all-new adventures, with the younger generation of rabbits eager to find out about the heroic age that existed before they were born.
Part One includes traditional lore on the character El-ahrairah. Part Two shares tales of his adventures as he and Rabscuttle return home after their encounter with the Black Rabbit of Inlé. Part Three recounts the adventures of Hazel and his companions as they establish their warren on Watership Down after their defeat of General Woundwort.
Tales from Watership Down enchants us once again with stories of courage and survival, and the millions of readers who enjoyed Watership Down now have the chance to re-enter this unique and spellbinding world.
