Watership Down author Richard Adams dies aged 96
The author of Watership Down, Richard Adams, has died aged 96, his daughter has said.
The tear-jerking classic tale about a group of rabbits in search of a new home after the destruction of their warren was first published in 1972.
The book, first adapted for screen in 1978, was notoriously frightening for young children, with its adored rabbit characters killed in graphic scenes.
Adams, from Newbury in Berkshire, also wrote Shardik and The Plague Dogs.
