Description
Edit
Redwall is a series of fantasy novels by Brian Jacques. It has Medieval style technology so characters fight with swords, spears etc. and there is no electricity. All the characters are talking animals (mice, rats, squirrels, hares etc.), with no humans. The books are primarily aimed at older children, but have fans of all ages. There have been nineteen novels published so far.
The book series does not chronicle any one particular timeframe, and does not necessarily carry on from the last book. Rather, it is set in many different periods in the history of the world of Redwall, which includes Mossflower woods and the surrounding islands. In each book there are some (usually) peaceful "goodies" who are then attacked by "badies". At the end of the book the goodies have defeated the badies, and they live "happily ever after". Untill next time...
Reader's ReviewsEdit
1Edit
A brilliant read.
2Edit
Always fantastic! Some advice on the order in which you read them: Start with Mossflower, although most people start with Redwall my personal opinion is that Mossflower explains things a lot more. Also Redwall, being the first book he wrote, is different to all the others in some content etc.
After Mossflower read Lord Brocktree, Martin the Warrior and The Legend of Luke in whatever order you want.
After that, it is up to you! However a few helpful hints:
Read Mattimeo immediately after Redwall.
The Outcast of Redwall, Mariel of Redwall and The Bellmaker are all better before Redwall.
3Edit
All Brian Jacques books are Fantastic. I have read all the redwall books multiple times and they never lose their charm. If you liked the redwall books try his Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series.
4Edit
Maybe it's good for little kids, but, I think it is very immature. The animals are all out of proportion. Why are foxes as big as mice?

Some gruesome bits, but largely left to the imagination.
There are battles in every book, and many characters die.
In Redwall there are a few mentions of Hell.
In other books there are several mentions of "Dark Forest" which is a place where animals go when they die. However this is not explored further.
No magic, however some supernatural things: The ghost of Martin the Warrior appears in lots of books in dreams. His spirit is said to guide Redwallers. Some other ghosts of dead animals appear as well.
