If you loved the novel, this revisit to the Downs will be a mostly gentle and kindly return!

A lengthy collection of fables and tales from the bunny mythology of Lord Frith, El-ahrairah, and others as well as a closing section which offers several chapters of adventures following the events of the book, each is brief enough that it would make for a wonderful bedtime story (though read ahead--some are a bit frightening). None individually nor the book as a whole is any match for the novel, of course, nor can this book stand alone. Adams offers no explanations or other assistance to readers who are expected to have read the original work.

Instead, think of this at best as a nostalgic read of coming once again to the glades and re-discovering the characters with some new stories which open up other ways of understanding the myths and the apparent psychic ways of Fiver and others. Asking any more of it is against its welcoming spirit of tale-telling for the sake of story.
