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.
