"Frith [the sun] made all the animals and birds, but when he first made them, they were all the same. The sparrow and the kestrel were friends, and they both ate seeds and flies. And the fox and the rabbit were friends, and they both ate grass. And there was plenty of grass and plenty of flies, because the world was new, and Frith shone down bright and warm all day."
- Richard Adams, "Watership Down"

"Uncle Remus might well have heard of him, for some of El-Ahrairah’s adventures are those of Brer Rabbit. For that matter, Odysseus himself might have borrowed a trick or two from the rabbit hero, for he is very old and was never at a loss for a trick to deceive his enemies."
― Richard Adams, "Watership Down"

Photograph of an alert rabbit sitting on its haunches.

One of my favorite books. I feel like more people in power should have read this right about now.

"El-ahrairah, your people cannot rule the world, for I will not have it so. All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you - digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks, and your people shall never be destroyed."
- Richard Adams, "Watership Down"

Cover of Richard Adams' Watership Down. A brown rabbit sits in yellow grass facing left, ears halfway back. The sky is yellow with orange clouds.

Watership Down (1978) Blind Spot Review - 8/10
https://table9mutant.wordpress.com/2017/02/28/watership-down-1978-blind-spot-review/

Mind blown. Just discovered that not only did author Richard Adams see action at Arnhem in #WWII, but that his experience & comrades partly inspired his best known work 'Watership Down'!
