hard to describe the fierce love I have for this book - I already loved the film but there's something about the way Richard Adams draws on the real life behaviour of rabbits to inform the behaviour of the characters in his story that gives an element of authenticity and believability to the rabbits in the book. This is one of my new favourite books of all time and it's taking everything in me to not turn right back to the first page and start the whole journey over again.
