Adams is a devoted student of the classics.

Are any of the rest of his books worth reading? Watership Down is the only one I know.

My daughted hated Watership Down, which made me sad. I don't necessarily think it's the best thing since sliced bread, but it has mythic charm and derring-do, which should be an unbeatable combination.

I am not at all sure it's a book for children, as they are usually defined. I do remember liking it; and re-reading, I'm enjoying the epic scope that I didn't fully appreciate the first time around. Maybe she'll change her mind.
