Yeah ditto. Haven't read those books for about 5 years but I remember I absolutely loved them. Brian Jaques was a genius.

I've read The Redwall Tales. The last one I read was Triss, but the series was awesome, even though it is intended for younger readers. Anyways, it's epic.

I took the 'wot wot' and 'oi' among other things from the hares and rabbits. xD
Salamandastron too, awesome what with teh Badger Lords and whatnot.
Love this series.

There have been a 3 since Triss came out, Loamhedge, Rakkety Tam, High Rhulain, and coming out in October: Eulalia! Actually this year is the 20th anniversary of Redwall, and to commemorate it, Brian Jacques is releasing a 20th anniversary edition of Redwall, and a graphic novel is being released by Tokyopop

I can't wait

You mean the author's still churning out more?

I want to read those now.

I need to delve more into this, 'cause the whole history of the area of Redwall intrigues me. xD

OOh, I've read some of these! I sit here, in front of my computer, and if I look to my right, I can see them all lined up in the small book shelf above the computer desk. I bought many of them, but never read them all. I found them to be a little formulaic... However, a couple of them are among my favourite books.

"Martin the Warrior" was a classic, and I simply fell in love with his character. This has to be my favourite of the lot, and the sad ending was different so, as a result, it's the only one I can remember at all, which is strange since it's the first book from the series I read...

"Mossflower" followed on nicely from "Martin the Warrior", and made a nice addition to Martin's story. I enjoyed reading about what happened to him and Redwall after the events in "Martin". =]

"The Legend of Luke" was refreshing, and gave more of a back-bone to Martin's father's life. I really enjoyed this book since it was quite different from the rest and less formulaic. I can't remember much at all... Only that I loved it. I might re-read these books one day.

It was after that when they became more formulaic, but I still enjoyed the ones I read and finished. "Triss" was awesome (beautiful cover, too!), as was "Mariel of Redwall" (Loved the Gullwacker!!). It was good to see some femenine heroes! And different. "The Pearls of Lutra" is the only other one I finished, I believe. I can't actually remember what that one was about.

Jaques certainly has skill, and I admire(d) his work. I always found it easy to picture the scenes in my mind; his descriptions were vivid and imaginative. Has anyone else read "The Flying Dutchman"?

Oh, and the food they have at Redwall... Enough to make your mouth water! Honey oat biscuits/cakes... Those I remember reading about.
