Watership Down author passed on today. 96, a good innings. I lodged at digs in Coventry in the early 1980s who's son was an animator of the 1978 film, had lots of images in the house. The animation was crude, but it was a powerful adaptation of a dark story. His other book, The Plague Dogs is very powerful indeed, about two dogs who escape from an animal experimental lab.

I loved Watership Down as a kid. Read it again earlier this year and still rate it as a great work of imagination, up there with Tarka the Otter and The Wind in the Willows.

I read The Plague Dogs and Watership Down many years ago and all I can remember about them is that I enjoyed them. I think that has more to do with my memory problems than it does with Adsms writing.
