NFR - Richard Adams has died

Most will now him as the author of Watership Down, however for me The Plague Dogs was a far better read.

He was 96 so not a bad innings

[Mince n Tatties]

President of the RSPCA at one time as well.

I seem to remember he stood for Parliament in Spelthorne, but could be mistaken.

"Bright Eyes" the theme song for Watership Down was sung by Art Garfunkel

The bunny fest apparently developed from making up stories for his kids to keep them amused. I suspect Plague Dogs did not follow a similar route unless his kids did become complete wrecks!

"Watership Down" was my favourite book as a child and I read it many times.  I wish they would re-make the movie, the theme song aside, I think it could be made a lot better!
