UK Version of Adams' Iron Wolf, July 31 2006
By Deanna Weber Prine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Unbroken Web (Hardcover)
This is a nice compilation of stories by Richard Adams. I ordered both this title and "The Iron Wolf" by Mr. Adams only to find that they're both the same book. I suspect the "Unbroken Web" was the UK title for marketing reasons--the title "Iron Wolf" probably had more appeal in the US.

Delightful collection of tales, Oct 23 1997

I count myself lucky to own this book- sad to see that this (and Shardik!!) are hard to find. Beautiful illustrations, and writing that will draw you in. As I recall, this is not really for young children (but then, I don't think watership down was for young children either). If you find it, pick it up.

The oral tradition frozen in time, Oct 19 2009
By Nathaniel Craig "The Neutral Christ" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Unbroken Web (Hardcover)
I love this book!
Richard Adams is a wonderful storyteller.
In the Unbroken Web (aka the Iron Wolf) he frames his re-telling of many different classic tales from around the world in the guise of how a story is actually told: starting with people who have time on their hands, a story teller takes up the torch, they create a segue to intrigue the listener, then spinning the yarn.
Delightful. :)
