- danso 10y agoOh you're right, well guess I'm getting too old to remember my elementary school days :). That Newbery list was pretty much where I got all of my memorable reading at that age, including Rats of NIMH and the High King (aka the Black Cauldron series), so I must have conflated it with Watership Down. Seems more likely that I liked NIMH enough that a librarian recommended Watership Down.
- timthorn 10y agoThe Watership Down that the book is set at is located near to Newbury - perhaps that's where the confusion arises?
