Our reviews of Richard Adams's work
Maia
by Richard Adams
Richard Adams's prequel to Shardik. A 1,400-page erotic-political fantasy that is one of the strangest entries in any major writer's bibliography.
Shardik
by Richard Adams
Richard Adams's 1974 follow-up to Watership Down. A religious epic about a hunter and a giant bear. Difficult, devastating, deeply serious.
The Plague Dogs
by Richard Adams
Richard Adams's third novel. Two laboratory dogs escape in the Lake District. The book that broke me as a 12-year-old.
