LONDON (AP) — British author Richard Adams, whose 1972 book “Watership Down” became a classic of children’s literature, has died, according to his daughter. He was 96. Juliet Johnson told the Associated Press on Tuesday that Adams died in Oxfordshire, England on Christmas Eve after getting progressively weaker in recent weeks. “He died of what used to be called old age,” she said, adding that her father also suffered from a blood disorder. Adams’ lyrical and poignant novel about the plight of rabbits whose home was under threat became an astonishing success after it was published.
