"Tales of Watership Hill" is a continuation of the famous, partly even cult, book "Watership Hill." "Watership Hill" began with a story that Richard Adams told his daughters during a long car ride. The children liked the story, and very soon a book about brave rabbits was written. Thirteen publishers rejected it, but Rex Collings, which agreed to publish it, was right: the book became popular, received several prestigious awards and subsequently became one of the best-selling novels of Penguin Books . A film and TV series were made based on the novel.
