Since publishing my post titled
Men and Guns, I've had a number of people ask me what on earth Redwall is. Well, let me tell you, it is one of the best series I have ever read and probably the one I have read and re-read the most. I read the first three books of the series way back when I was a second or third grader in elementary school and I have never looked back. The picture above is of my book shelf with 20 of the 22 books of the series. I do own all of them but I had the two missing ones with me at my apartment and have yet to unpack them. But that is beside the point. Redwall is a series that was written by the brilliant author Brian Jacques. Sadly he passed away on February 5, 2011. I cannot even begin to describe how heartbroken I was when I found out that one of my favorite authors had died and that the stories of Redwall were at an end. He wrote the series starting with the first book, Redwall, published in 1986 all the way until his final book, The Rogue Crew, published posthumously in 2011.
