British author, comedian and radio personality Brian Jacques created
this first volume in his vastly popular animal adventure series 10
years ago as a read-aloud to spur the imaginations of blind children.
Since those early days, Jacques' exhilarating tales starring an intricate
cast of woodland creatures have become popular around the world. To
the delight of fans and newcomers alike, REDWALL --- the book that
started it all --- was re-released in late 1997 as an Anniversary
Edition featuring dramatic illustrations by Troy Howell.
Mossflower Woods, the animal sanctuary surrounding Redwall Abbey,
was an idyllic place to live until the wicked rat, Cluny the Scourge
and his ally, Slagar the fox declared war. Young mouse Matthias, a
clumsy novice monk, sees that their evil is very nearly overwhelming.
To save his beloved Redwall from destruction, Matthias resolves to
find the sword (and so the courage) of legendary mouse hero Martin
the Warrior. With Martin's spirit to guide his woodland forces, Matthias
believes good will prevail against Cluny's diabolical forces.
You'll find this book hard to put down. And luckily, there are nine
other books in the series to keep the adventure going.
