Richard Adams RIP - Bromptonaut

Author of Watership Down has died at ripe old age of 96:

Couldn't get into either Watership Down or Shardik. The Plague Dogs, set in the Lake District and with illustrations by Wainwright, OTOH has been a favourite re-read for years.

Richard Adams RIP - zippy

Read Plague Dogs when I was in shorts. Had quite an impact and caused a sleepless night!

Richard Adams RIP - Cliff Pope

I chuckle to recall the enterprising butcher's sign:

Watership Down - you've read the book, you've seen the film, now eat the cast!
