Doesn’t mean what everyone is saying regarding themes, characters etc. and enjoying it as an adult isn’t applicable though I’m curious, why are you so certain on that? Did Adams say he wrote it for children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started off as stories he told his daughters on car trips. I'm not sure how those tales evolved into the book we know and love. Edit: Hah - Astromech 's article completely answers this! So no, not written for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily Valley Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I think there is a 50% chance I convinced my sister to name her next baby Hazel-Rah. If you nerds are going to do a holiday reread, I'd like to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I love that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeno of Carcosa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Looking forward to this being released soon, though not confident that they'll be able to capture the essence of it. Most of all would love an adaptation of the rabbit myths though (El-ahrairah, etc.)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
