Title: I was sadly dissapointed by "Tales..."
Product review: I loved Watership Down, I still love Watership Down, I will probably always love Watership Down. For years I wanted more and back in 1981 I got more - The Rabbits Ghost Story, published in a collection of Richard Adams' Favourite Animal Stories. I was surprised and elated to find that had been incorporated into this new book. However, when compared to the incomparable Watership Down this book left me cold. It had its moments but a female chief rabbit was not one of them. Nor was finding out that Bigwig was probably not the father of Hyzenthlay's kittens. I felt the format of eleven El-ahrairah stories on the trot was a mistake as was the overt attempts at political correctness. Well, at least nothing can dim the spirit of the original book. Watership Down was a product of its time (it was written in the late sixties) and it seems that in our time the rabbits of Watership Down have changed...
