Tales from Watership Down
by Richard Adams
I'm a Huge fan of Watership Down. I don't know what it is necessarily that speaks so much to me about it. I loved the fables and world building, how they were woven so perfectly into the narrative, the philosophical themes, and how the POV would switch to the most perfect characters to hold the tension of the story at the most perfect time.
Tales from Watership Down is definitely a fun addition to the series. It has plenty of big thought provoking stories worthy of the original book - however, the stories are definitely something separate from the original. It didn't beat you over the head with characters that you already loved, but used them as supporting cast to introduce you to more characters and stories. It's a happy medium of the right amount of new and old. I could tell that Richard Adams was telling these stories from a different time than the original - especially without inclusion of many female centric stories (my only complaint about Watership Down).
It's not something that can stand alone imo, but it's definitely worth checking out if you wanted to feel the same warmth intelligence and general vibe of the original.
