WATERSHIP DOWN FANS take note: Now is your chance to ask author Richard Adams everything you've ever wanted to find out about this epic novel and his other work.
Post your questions before the 23 November and you'll be entered into a prize draw to win one of three book-sets signed by Adams, which include Shardik, Watership Down, The Plague Dogs, and Tales From Watership Down.
Adams - who currently lives in Hampshire with his wife Elizabeth, to whom he has been married for 65 years - originally began telling the story of Watership Down, his first book, to his two daughters to while away a long car journey to Stratford-on-Avon. They insisted he write it down, and it became a huge success on publication with people of all ages, winning both the Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal. Watership Down is now considered a modern classic, and recently appeared at number 37 on the Sunday Times list of bestsellers in the last 40 years.
We'll be sending over your questions to Richard on the 23 November; answers will be posted on this thread approximately two weeks later.
