Redwall by Brian Jacques

Redwall by Brian Jacques

Matthias is just one little mouse but he knows it'll take more than stones and mouse-sized arrows to keep the rats at bay. Enlisting the help of a military hare, wild sparrows and argumentative stoats, Matthias sets out to defend his freedom, his friends, and the abbey he calls home.

Not since Roald Dahl have children filled their shelves so compulsively * The Times *
He is a wonderful storyteller, immersed in his own kingdom * Guardian *
A constant hit ever since Martin the Warrior first took up arms against his foes * Scotsman *
There are quests and riddles; cunning treachery and chivalric derring-do; and, in a feature that became a hallmark of the entire series, groaning boards spread with sumptuous feasts, lovingly described * New York Times *
The combination of a completely imagined world full of domestic detail..with a strongly created mythology to underpin them, big-scale plots and Jacques's rolling prose quickly turned Redwall into a leading international brand in children's books * Guardian *
