WHITCHURCH Watership Down fans were given a double treat when an exhibition of paintings inspired by the book was attended by the author Richard Adams.
Whitchurch Arts presented paintings by Aldo Galli, inspired by Richard Adam’s novel, at the Gill Nethercott Centre.
Paintings from Aldo’s collection were on display while Richard Adams signed copies of his books.
Graham Burgess, chairman of Whitchurch Arts said: “Aldo has created some fantastic works of art based on the Watership Down novel, which was set locally.”
Richard Adams said: “I’m delighted with these picture. Aldo is a young painter who took a lot of trouble and has stuck closely to my book. I gave up painting at the age of seven.”
Aldo Galli added: “This is the most amazing thing I’ve done in my life.”
