    Watership Down is based on stories Richard Adams improvised for his kids during car journeys. Which is treated as a nice origin story, but I can't imagine how creeped out I would've been if my dad just started going on about violent rabbit fights while hurtling down the A59.

        My dad went through a phase of just listening to that one song by The Calling while in the car. Wherever Will You Go for half an hour, over and over again. Would still choose that over my dad, eyes fixed on the road, rambling to me about rabbits tearing each other's faces off.

        I once met a former civil service colleague of his on the train who said Adams spent much of his time there working on it and had the typing pool type it up!
