¶ A classic children's novel, or rather a classic tale of fantastic adventure, now highly underrated and generally ignored - for no reason whatsoever other than modern incompetence and ignorance. The work is known to have had a profound influence on the author Richard Adams when he was a child, and is almost directly responsible for his crafting of the novel 'Watership Down'. An extraordinarily great fantasy novel.
