Richard Adams has done it again! Captured my heart with the most lovable, well-written creatures ever. I've decided I'm really no good at writing reviews so I'll be taking an alternate approach to this one. I loved back in elementary school and even in Junior High how book reports usually involved some sort of art project. So I've decided that that's what I'll do.
I checked out a book from the library awhile ago called Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay. Using the knowledge I sort of gleaned from that book I decided to render the two main characters in Polymer clay (better known as Sculpey).
Rowf: the escaped Mongrel from the Animal Research and Science something or other. The acronym is A.R.S.E. He had been undergoing tests in the research lab about how long a dog could survive underwater if he was continually left in for longer and longer periods of time.
Snitter: Terrier who was sold to A.R.S.E. after his master's death and escaped with Rowf. He had a complicated brain surgery that sort of melds fact and fiction. It's rather hard to explain.
Love them!!
