Absolutely marvelous. My mother recommended this book to me many years ago and I was hesitant to read it -- moles?? But I had read Watership Down and she said it was even better. And she was right! It also has a spiritual message which if you are at all spiritually-oriented, you're likely to appreciate - as long as you're able to accept essential facets of spirituality without apart from your specific religion. After 30 years, I'm reading the second volume of the series now (Duncton Quest) and unfortunately it's not as good -- the good has become too good and the evil too evil. But it's still difficult to put down. A reader can easily get attached to individual moles as one would to actual animals -- but with somewhat human consciousness.
