Package content is not flexible and cannot be modified. Please note that if your order ships in multiple boxes, package components may not all be in the same box. The package item number is also listed at the bottom of your packing slip for reference. On your packing slip, package components are picked and packed individually and are identified with the code 'PKGCMP' in the price column. Any backordered components will ship separately as they become available. In-stock components will ship according to our normal shipping time. When you order a package, you are charged one price for all package items. Because most package items or components are also sold separately and may be components of multiple packages, these items may not have the same inventory availability at any point in time. Although packages are sets, items are not physically bundled together. Any item sold as a package on our website is identified by a unique alpha-numeric item number (such as 'APH1AB'). A listing of individual items that make up a package is provided on the package item's product detail page along with real-time item availability of those items. We Smiths did and cannot recommend it highly enough.A 'package' is made up of two or more items sold as a set, often for a reduced price.

No one will ever write a better rabbit story than Richard Adams has. But for Frith’s sake, the Taj Mahal is another thing altogether. When I finally read Watership Down, I discovered I had built a lego hut in the shadow of the Taj Mahal. Because here’s what I tell people when they ask if The Green Ember is like Watership Down. Had I read it before starting, I wonder if I would have been able to write a rabbit story at all. I’m glad I didn’t read it until after I was done writing Ember. It is magnificent and I love it immensely. It is the prince of rabbit tales. In fact, there are very few novels containing characters of any kind that can compare with this book. Sometime after I was done writing Ember, I read Watership Down. I avoided Redwall for a similar reason (and I still haven’t read any of those.) I wrote my book. I had heard it was great and I didn’t want to read anything that would influence (or discourage) me. (Or it may have been just before I began, but after I had decided to turn the stories I had been telling my kids for years into a novel.) So I began writing my own fantasy novels as a hobby to augment my previous job. My friend, Eric Peters, gave me a copy when I was in the process of writing The Green Ember. All of the novels worth reading here appear to be SAT English problems.

I had heard of Watership Down for years, but never read it. But I love the story, the characters, and I’m grateful for the tremendous response it’s received from readers. It’s my first book, and I hope I will improve as a writer. I am in no way embarrassed about having written The Green Ember. I get asked this fairly often, so I want to go on record with my response.
