Wash Common author Richard Adams was best known for Watership Down, and his daughter told Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker how the local countryside inspired his work. She also discusses his new novel, Egg box Dragon: Juliet Johnson: "I think it was who he was, and I think writing Watership Down was an escape. "He was a countryman, he grew up in Wash Common when it was much quieter, the roads were made of dust in his day... I know there were a lot of woods that he liked. "Things like bulrushes and toads, they were his companions. "He lived a very rich imaginative life."
