Years after reading this, it has melded in my mind with 'Watership Down: A Novel' so I cannot remember what memories came from which book. ( )

I would only recommend Tales from Watership Down for those that read and enjoyed Watership Down. The first half of this book contains short stories from the rabbit mythology, many of which were referenced in the first book. They are only slightly entertaining and have no overarching plot.

The second half follows our original rabbits and their life after defeating General Woundwart. Better than the first half however even these felt rushed and lacked the magical feelings the first book elicited. Then the book abruptly ends. What?

It took me nearly two months to read this as I could only stay interested for a chapter at a time. Overall this was a disappointment and felt more like capitalizing on the success of Watership Down than having anything new or interesting to add. ( )

Heavily relies on the reader having read the novel Watership Down prior.

The first two parts focus on the bunny folk-hero, El-Alhrairah and his adventures. The last part is a story sequence cum novella about events in and around Watership Down after the close of the novel.

If you hankered for more rabbit adventures after the novel, this is the book for you. I liked the folk tales more than the new adventures of Watership Down. As I've no doubt mentioned before, language, history and legend are prime elements of convincing world building and Adams grasped this. ( )

This was an enjoyable collection of short stories about the rabbits of Watership Down. We get to read about what they were up to before the end of the first book which caused me no end of tears. I honestly have to say that reading about El-ahrairah in the first story was fine, but after that I found myself getting bored. The book didn't pick up for me until we were following Hazel, Fiver, and the others who were setting into Watership Down.

I do think it was good to see how the rabbits were tested due to a cruel winter, a female rabbit who used to be the Oswla who disagrees with Hazel and others, and a former rabbit who still feels some sway to General Woundwort.

I still have to hard pause when reading this book sometimes to figure out what the rabbits mean when referring to certain things. This book came with a dictionary in the back though which was helpful.

The setting of Watership Down still feels magical to me in this one. We have the rabbits being led by Hazel-rah and how the warren seems to work due to all of them working together at all times. The stories mentioned above though do test the rabbits at times. I really wish that Adams had included a story of Watership Down after the death of Hazel though.

The ending was a little flat to me. I just felt like the stories as a whole didn't flow very well from one to the other. I was expecting something better or a bigger picture to the plot. ( )

I liked this little follow up to Watership Down. Although clearly intended as a companion book and not another journey-epic on par with the first, it was an interesting extention. I liked reading more about the trickster rabbit's exploits, although some adventures were a little odd and confusing, compared to the more traditional ones of the first book. The Watership Down warren stories were not especially exciting, but still fun little glimpses of the future.

My feminist side did appreciate Hyzenthlay being named co-Chief though. I always liked her. ;) ( )
