Why read it?
1 author picked Tales from Watership Down as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
While I don’t think it’s possible to have one favorite novel, anytime I need to list just one on an author questionnaire, I usually pick Watership Down; it’s one of the most brilliant books I’ve ever read, and one that rewards repeated rereads.
This collection does a great job of expanding the world of that novel, giving side characters more to do and expanding the mythology that permeates the novel, while the stories are memorable in their own right.
From Jeff's list on collections that show what great modern novelists can do with short fiction.
