Summary

 When Redwall was published in 1987 it catapulted author Brian Jacques to international stardom. And small wonder! This enthralling tale is jam-packed with the things we long for in a great adventure: danger, laughter, hairbreadth escapes, tragedy, mystery, a touch of wonder, a truly despicable villain, and a hero we can take to heart.

That hero is Matthias, a young mouse who must rise above his fears and failures to save his friends at Redwall Abbey. The villain is Cluny the Scourge, one of the most deliciously despicable rats of all time. The unforgettable cast of supporting characters includes the stalwart badger Constance, an irrepressible hare named Basil Stag Hare, and the elderly wisemouse Brother Methuselah.

But most of all there is Matthias, seeking his true destiny in a journey that will lead through danger and despair to true wisdom.©1995 The Redwall Abbey Company, Ltd.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Redwall and the Novels of Brian Jacques

“Brian Jacques has the true fantasy writer’s ability to create a wholly new and believable world.”—School Library Journal

“Jacques extols the virtues of honor and valor…[The Redwall Novels] are a good read, with enticing maps, plenty of songs, a dose of natural history, and loads of excitement, charm, and humor.”—The Irish Times

“Wonderfully imaginative.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Children are privileged to enter the rich world of Redwall and Mossflower. So are the parents who get to come along.”—The Boston Phoenix

“A grand adventure story. Once the reader is hooked, there is no peace until the final page.”—Chicago Sun-Times

“Old-fashioned swashbuckling adventure.”—Locus

“The Redwall books...add a touch of chivalry and adventure reminiscent of the King Arthur stories.” —Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

“Filled with rousing adventure, strong characters, and vibrant settings.”—The Boston Sunday Globe

“Packed with action and imbued with warmth…richly inventive.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Jacques’s effortless, fast-paced narrative gets its readers quickly hooked. He clearly loves this other world he has created—there’s a genius sense of involvement and care (lots of lovingly descriptive passages), as well as an overflowing, driving imagination.”—Birmingham Post

“A richly imagined world in which bloody battles vie for attention with copious feasting and tender romancing.”—The Cincinnati Enquirer

This is by far my favourite audiobook so far. So well done, all of the characters really came to life and I was totally taken away to a wonderful world of fantasy. Great break from regular adulting.

So much fun and adventure

Great cast. Captures the setting well. Story not as great as my childhood memories had told me.
