The author of Watership Down, Richard Adams, has died aged 96, his daughter confirms.
96 is a good age though

He was 96 so it's of exactly shocking , I think the majority of people would love to live to 96.

Yes and I thought it was better than Watership Down (which I also loved).

I think the film is even darker than Watership Down in some respects
