Historical Editorial Review

Richard Adams' novel Shardik examines religious faith, loyalty, connection with life, and the endurance of the human spirit, as well as the power in the spirit of other living things, like bears. Although it can be challenging to get through, and there are typos in this edition, the story is poignant, and the characters relatable. Some readers say it is not as good as his other books and that it's too odd for their liking. Others praise it for being an engrossing tale full of true detail. Some characters appear in both Shardik and the prequel Maia, and they can stand alone. It is not like Watership Down. **
