It's awesome.

Fart.

My son is an early reader and LOVES rabbits. We just finished reading Watership Down together. (he for the first time at 7 years old, me for the Uumpteenth).

Did you have an age or audience in mind when you wrote the book? I know it came from stories you told your children - how old we're they?

Do you think think you were any more honest about death or mans inhumanity to animals than the average UK parent?

ALSO, why doesn't someone make the book into a miniseries or multi - part movie. The original movie was fine for what it was, but left so much out. It was a great vision of the book, but it shouldn't be the final or definitive vision.

awesome!

Americans live in a uniquely isolated linguistic world - where language variation is seen as weird or a threat. But i liked the linguistics. Tolkien did something similar. Was he an acknowledged influence?

This wasn't an American book, though i personally demand everyone pronounce "Fiver" to rhyme with river.
