Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The original Watership Down is one of those wonderful works that appeals to readers both young and old. The story of a group of rabbits on an adventure into unfamiliar yards, farms and fields made for an imaginative, captivating journey. This latest work follows the aftermath of the original's climactic ending and includes the rabbits' retelling of various myths associated with their rabbit-hood, plus some new twists and developments. This is a captivating introduction to Adams's warren for first-time visitors, and those who loved the original Watership Down won't be disappointed.

I was eight years old when I read Watership down and ten when I read Tales from Watership down. I'm fifteen now. I found Watership Down a bit of a struggle, but now I love it! Tales from Watership Down was fantastic too - I found it easier than Watership Down and I enjoyed the exciting adventures of El-arairah and the events at Hazel-rah's warren. I think this book should be read after Watership Down, otherwise the tales would be rather confusing and difficult to follow.

If you've read Watership Down (and no doubt you loved it), this collection of short stories is a must have! Meet Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig and the rest as they tell each other stories of El-ahrairah (and some other stories that are really very funny) and discover what they have all become since their return from Efrafa.

More of a companion piece than an actual sequel, the book has some wonderful moments, but lacks the spark that made the original so special. Aimed more at children this time around, the bok centres around a collcetion of stories split into 3 parts. Parts One and Two are based on traditional adventures of the rabbit-hero El-ahrairah. Part Three concerns the aftemath of the big battle on Watership Down.
And it is Part Three that forms most of the faults with this book, because it feels underwritten and and soulless. The tysle of the first two parts is written much like the stories of El-ahrairah were produced in the first book, but the same style is then used for Hazel's story. The writing feels completely different. It jars terribly for those who know the book so well.
Great for the kids aged 10 and under but for the adults, the concluding part is a little disappointing.
