Review Praise for the Redwall series "Brian Jacques has the true fantasy writers ability to create a wholly new and believable world." -School Library Journal "The medieval world of Redwall Abbey--where gallant mouse warriors triumph over evil invaders--has truly become the stuff of legend." -Seattle Post-Intelligencer "A grand adventure story. Once the reader is hooked, there is no peace until the final page." -Chicago Sun-Times "Jacquess effortless, fast-paced narrative gets its readers quickly hooked. He clearly loves this other world he has created--theres a genius sense of involvement and care (lots of lovingly descriptive passages), as well as an overflowing, driving imagination." -Birmingham Post "Redwall is both an incredible and ingratiating place, one to which readers will doubtless cheerfully return." -New York Times Book Review "An excellent adventure with an enlightened conscience. Brilliantly complex. With vibrant and distinct animal characters, Jacquess classically inspired plot-weaving achieves virtuosity." -Publishers Weekly "Only a churl would reject this morality play in fur." -Kirkus Reviews "Filled with the kind of vibrant storytelling that fans of Jacques have come to expect. His dialogue is lively and delightful to read aloud...so rich in detail that the sights and sounds and smells of the adventure pull the reader in." -Grand Rapids Press (MI) "A richly imagined world in which bloody battles vie for attention with copious feasting and tender romancing. Where males and females are heroes and warriors. Where the young triumph and the old endure. Where intelligence is as valued as strength and wit is frequently more important than size...[Jacques] continues to surprise and delight with intriguing plots and fresh faces." -Cincinnati Enquirer "The Knights of the Round Table with paws." -The Sunday Times (London) Kirkus US Review Here they come again, those fiercely determined animals of Mossflower wood and its environs: intrepid or villainous, buckling their swashes, smiling sly grins, declaiming their resolution, and, above all, eating ("scoffin") their way through hazelnuts, raspberries, cream, ale, and other bounty. Its easy to tell the good guys from the bad: mice, squirrels, otters, hedgehogs, moles, and especially badgers are heroes, while rats, stoats, foxes, and reptiles are scum. Salamandastron - a volcanic shell honeycombed with caves, lair of the mysterious badger lords and the hares of the Long Patrol - is now under siege by Feragho, the singularly nasty leader of the weasels and stoats. Does Redwall Abbey come into the tale? Are there hare-raising adventures and dread perils, including plague and poison? After mighty struggles, betrayal, heroism, and pluck, does right triumph over evil? Of course. Fans will rejoice - the familiar scenes and faces are all here. Speech patterns, feasts, offended dignity, voices from afar, and mysterious swords are recycled from book to book; but then, thats half the charm.
