The #graphicnovel adaptation of Richard Adam’s #watershipdown is a visual treat. It’s extremely faithful to the original and is structured superbly. A morning of absolute bliss with the expected emotional rollercoaster of a journey. Masterpiece. @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social

Thank you @gntread24.bsky.social! I love so many animal stories, but probably the biggest ones for me when I was little were:

Kenneth Grahame – The Wind in the Willows
Robin Jarvis – The Deptford Mice
Russell Hoban – The Mouse and His Child
Brian Jacques – Redwall series
