[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1] its about these woodland creatures such as mice, rats, molerats, moles, squireels, hedgehogs, hares, badgers, etc...and they live in a place called Redwall which is this big thingy(yea i'm very descriptive*sarcasm*) well the place that martin the warrior helped build up to what it is (Martin shows up in Mossflower and in Martin the warrior) anyways..hes this legendary warrior mouse and yea. Theres a bunch of adventures that go on with the woodland creatures trying to take over redwall and stuff that involves Mathias and Mattemeo(sp? i don't have the book with me, and i forgot the spelling) and all their sons and daughters and ansestors. Overall its a good book series, you can't base your oppinion of it from what i tell you ebcause i can't describe things very well o.o;; but thats Redwall in a nutshell.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossflower, Martin the Warrior, and The Legend of Luke. he became so famous with the woodland creatures because he freed Mossflower Woods from tyranny from a family of Wildcats. A few of the books talks about the badger lords' home, Salamondastron. Badgers and hares live within these walls. most of the time its relatively peaceful, but sometimes its under attack from corsairs, rats, and the likes of that. Matthias and Mattimeo are the ancestors of Martin. Mattimeo names his son Martin. So basicly, the books are about the woodland creatures protecting themselves from evil since the abbey is prized by villians everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lia Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 [size=1]i was saying the woodland creatures in general, i didn't specifically say the RATS LIVE IN REDWALL......and in that quote i was naming the creatures that take place in the book series[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekkyo Posted June 15, 2002 Share Posted June 15, 2002 well.. rats normally dont live in the woods. except for in The Legend of Luke they say something about a band of rats, but they could have just been on a quest for riches and yadda yadda. if rats, ferrets, stoats, and other vermin are in the forest, then its mostly because they want revenge againts the creatures in the Abbey or they want the Abbey for themselves. what i'm trying to say is that you should have placed rats in a different sentence to eliminate further confusion.

Mina Posted June 16, 2002 Share Posted June 16, 2002 I love these books. They're great. I recently discovered the cartoon. Some of the books that i read all start with a feast and then a leader and his horde try to take over. I don't know about others, but the ones i read are like that.

Guest scythemaster29 Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Well I'm new here and I love Redwall books I like the original Redwall book and Martin the Warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 I've read all of them that have been translated to my language, meaning the seven first ones. But one thing that bothered me about them were the villains: they were the same in every book!!! Always the rats, foxes, snakes, martens, and [I]cats[/I]! Cats aren't THAT bad!:bawl: (you see I'm a catperson?:smirk: ) Well, anyways, although the books are meant to someone little younger than me (I'm 18, btw), I loved them, coz the world wasn't that bad after reading them...*awww* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hmmm.....the Marlfox book doesn't get much better once you find it boring. It just keeps geting more boring....:drunk: I didn't find it a very good read. I've just spotted "The Long Patrol" on my desk.... *goes off to read it* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyubimon Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 I've heard of Redwall books but never read one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 [size=1][font=century gothic] I have read every single Redwall book that has been made and I can't stop reading them! My favorites have to be The Long Patrol and Marlfox but my alltime favorite is The Pearls of Lutra. Just because I like Grath Longfletch I think that is how you spell it, I am confused now....[/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kei Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Don't be. You spelled it right. That was one of my personal favorites, but my overall fav was Marlfox. Martin the Warrior ran a close second, but the only reason it's not is because of the messed-up ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mist Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 [color=red][size=1] Martin the Warrior was a good one, but the pearl of Marlfox (or smoething like that) or the original book were the greatest.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walnut Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Yeah someone else likes Marlfox as well. I heaven't read Martin the Warrior, but Mossflower is a good one. I think he's the first martin thats always in the tapsery. That is a real good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Mossflower is sort of a sequel to Martin the Warrior, and yes, he is the same Martin as the one on the tapestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekkyo Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 well.. as for the tapestry.. gah i dont want to ruin it for people who havent read Luke the Warrior. but that isnt Martin, its really his father Luke. Martin's mother Sanya made a woven picture of Luke with the sword. Martin bore such a close resemblence(sp?) to Luke that the creatures of Redwall used that as the picture of Martin. i'm sorry if i ruined the whole meaning of the tapestry to anyone :x i just finished The Long Patrol. veddy veddy good. i am currantly eating my way through Lord Brocktree. its kind of odd. i just got to the point to where Lord Brocktree met Jukka the Sling and they made there way towards King Bucko Bigbone's court. i have yet to read Pearls of Lutra! :angry2: i havent got it yet. i have every other book. i still need to read The Bellmaker.. then i can read the the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. i think thats what its called. another book from Brian Jacques.. brilliant man. then i can wait for my grandmother to get me the Pearls of Lutra. she gets them for about 1.50 because she works for Scholastic :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walnut Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 Eh...what are you on about. Luke never made it back to his home. I ain't trying to spoil it for anyone. That's why the books called Ledgend of Luke. It is Martin in Mossflower, cause Luke's story is told to him when they are re-building the place to make it into Redwall. Honest.

Sara Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Marlfox was good.... but, yeah... [i]Pearls[/i] was the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I liked pearls the best too, mainly because I like riddles and puzzles. I also liked the ending, though I thought something different would happen though. My second favorite is Salamandastron.

I own, and love them all... i'm currently going for my 4th spin through the series.... My favorite book is Mossflower.... i loved it.... it's tied with the Pearls of lutra(which i'm currently re-reading) and a close second is... The Taggerung.... My all time favorite character came from the Pearls of Lutra... Clecky, the mountain hair.... i loved him for some reason! [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Ah....Clecky... [i]Long Patrol[/i] was my first...so I just really loved seeing all my favorte characters as kids...[what's the word? It's been a while...] in [i]Pearls[/i]. Of course, I also knew something was going to appen to Pikkin, or Piknim, or whatever her name was.... :( I need to read these books again, everything's getting blurry. Meh.

[/B][/QUOTE] i know that. he got killed when the boat crashed and stuff. but Sayna made the woven thing before martin's time. ah but i see from the book that i was wrong. it was neither Luke or Martin, but Martin's grandsire... er.. Martin. heh. i qoute from the book, "Strangest of all, though, he showed me something from a linen beaded bag, which belonged to his poor mother. It was a woven tapestry of his grandsire, who was also called Martin. The picture is of a mouse in armour, bearing a great sword. I was amazed, it looked like Martin himself, to the very life. Though he said to me that it reminded him greatly of Luke, his father. Columbine has a lovely idea: she thinks that the picture may form a centerpiece for a big tapestry, which would someday hang in the Great Hall." so it was his grandsire..
