Classic Children's Book Club #ClassicChildrensBookClub I see the influence of Watership Down everywhere. All of us who've written animal stories are influenced by it, whether we know it or not; all of us who aspire to mythic storytelling owe something to it too. As well as the idea of books for everyone!

Classic Children's Book Club Watership Down Could I also ask Juliet are there any other memorable stories you remember your dad telling you? #ClassicChildrensBookClub

Classic Children's Book Club #ClassicChildrensBookClub I also think you can see the influence of Watership Down in the new nature writing that's emerged in the past decade or so. I'm sure many writers like Robert Macfarlane read Watership Down as kids, and were as stunned by his descriptions as I was!

And that's 9pm and the end of another wonderful #ClassicChildrensBookClub chat! Huge thanks to SF (SF Said) and Juliet (Watership Down) for being this evening's special guests and thank you too to everyone who joined in with the chat about Watership Down. Thank you!

Classic Children's Book Club Watership Down #ClassicChildrensBookClub Thank you so much for having us, and for making space to celebrate what I believe to be one of the greatest books of all time - not just children's books, but BOOKS! And thank you Juliet for joining us & sharing your extraordinary memories!

Wonderful! This makes me think of the Ursula Le Guin quote, "The unread story is not a story ...The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story" and to say a huge thank you to Juliet and her sister for being the first readers who helped make Watership Down live.

If you're a fan of Richard Adams' Watership Down and SF Said's fiction, check out the #ClassicChildrensBookClub hashtag to revisit yesterday evening's memorable and moving chat about Watership Down.

We’re often asked by parents to recommend classic fiction for children, if this is you do take a look at last night’s #ClassicChildrensBookClub with SF Said, Classic Children's Book Club & Watership Down we think you’ll be wanting to read Richard Adams’ #WatershipDown & Varjak Paw

I've created a list of all the books chosen so far for Classic Children's Book Club with links to buy here. And I'll be announcing next month's #ClassicChildrensBookClub pick later this week! uk.bookshop.org/lists/classic-…

The wonderful author of THUNDER AND LIGHTNINGS, which was the very first #ClassicChildrensBookClub pick.

🚨Cool giveaway alert!🚨 The reaction to our #TheValleyOfLostSecrets proofs has been amazing! So as a Friday treat & to spread some more TVOLS joy, we've got 3 copies of Lesley Parr's mesmerising debut up for grabs! Simply like & retweet for your chance to win ...

"Inspired by BB's The Little Grey Men, the book is 'is designed to open children’s eyes to the excitement, wonder and richness of the outdoors.'" Think this will interest anyone who joined in with the #ClassicChildrensBookClub chat about Brendon Chase by B.B., earlier this year.

Geoff Cameron has made a model of The Dragonfly. Some BB admirers might like this. @M_Z_Harrison Horatio Clare
