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. Paperback Illustrated, December 11, 2012. 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. 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. 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. Here is the enchanting sequel to the beloved classic Watership Down, which introduced millions of readers to an extraordinary world of rabbitsincluding Fiver, Hazel, Bigwig, Dandelion, and the legendary hero El-ahrairah.
