I have promoted Watership Down to friends and family perhaps more than any other book. Richard Adams’ world building is reminiscent of Tolkien’s, with his invented mythos and language, detailed setting descriptions, and variety of characters both heroic and evil. His insights into leadership, courage, and true friendship make it well worth reading and rereading. I appreciate your article pointing us to Adams’ genius and it’s ability to speak to our current cultural condition.
I am truly amazed at your gift for analysis and imagery. My best friend loved _Watership Down_ but I never thought I'd be interested in a story about rabbits. Thanks for giving me a whole new perspective.

I love this analysis. So fun to read. And I'm excited to have you on the podcast to talk about it!
