He is also the author of 'Food for a Future.' This volume came from the private library of Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, with his attractive bookplate to front pastedown endpaper. Following the publication of his hugely successful debut novel in 1972, Adams became very active in the evolving animal rights movement. He was in contact with several members of the Oxford Group. Campaigned against the hunting of baby seals, and ultimately served as president of the RSPCA in 1982.
