  <description><![CDATA[Brian Jacques's superb Redwall series truly captures the finest  in storytelling tradition and combines it with the ultimate in upbeat,  catch-your-breath adventure. <em>Mossflower</em> tells the story of  Martin the Warrior, who finds himself trespassing on the land of  Verdagua, King of a Thousand Eyes, as he lies sick and near dying. With  his last strength, Verdagua is struggling to make a decision on who  should replace him as ruler of Mossflower Country. As Martin and his  newfound friend and fellow prisoner Gonff become embroiled in the  battle against Verdagua's ruthless daughter, Tsarmina, a bloody fight  between good and evil ensues.<p>   Stunning landscapes, brilliant characterization, masterly plots, and a  wicked sense of humor unite in this epic tale of derring-do and the  triumph of good over evil, making it one of the most addictive and  memorable books that anyone is ever likely to read. <em>--Susan  Harrison</em></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this one more than <em>Redwall</em> in some ways--it's better written and the characters are a bit more multifaceted, the puzzles and trials they have to decipher a little more complex. However, after reading these first two books in the series, I'm already getting tired of the stereotyped depictio...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19904526">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Brian Jacques's superb Redwall series truly captures the finest  in storytelling tradition and combines it with the ultimate in upbeat,  catch-your-breath adventure. <em>Mossflower</em> tells the story of  Martin the Warrior, who finds himself trespassing on the land of  Verdagua, King of a Thousand Eyes, as he lies sick and near dying. With  his last strength, Verdagua is struggling to make a decision on who  should replace him as ruler of Mossflower Country. As Martin and his  newfound friend and fellow prisoner Gonff become embroiled in the  battle against Verdagua's ruthless daughter, Tsarmina, a bloody fight  between good and evil ensues.<p>   Stunning landscapes, brilliant characterization, masterly plots, and a  wicked sense of humor unite in this epic tale of derring-do and the  triumph of good over evil, making it one of the most addictive and  memorable books that anyone is ever likely to read. <em>--Susan  Harrison</em></p>]]>

The spiritual heir to Watership Down with a LOTR style quest in every book, Jacques' novels are both lively adventures and great morality tales for young readers (and older readers who still like young readers' books).

It isn't, but it does illustrate the power of certain basic fantasy tropes (the Quest, the Fated Hero, the Last Stand, etc.): they can actually survive being imposed on talking animals.

    <![CDATA[Brian Jacques's superb Redwall series truly captures the finest  in storytelling tradition and combines it with the ultimate in upbeat,  catch-your-breath adventure. <em>Mossflower</em> tells the story of  Martin the Warrior, who finds himself trespassing on the land of  Verdagua, King of a Thousand Eyes, as he lies sick and near dying. With  his last strength, Verdagua is struggling to make a decision on who  should replace him as ruler of Mossflower Country. As Martin and his  newfound friend and fellow prisoner Gonff become embroiled in the  battle against Verdagua's ruthless daughter, Tsarmina, a bloody fight  between good and evil ensues.<p>   Stunning landscapes, brilliant characterization, masterly plots, and a  wicked sense of humor unite in this epic tale of derring-do and the  triumph of good over evil, making it one of the most addictive and  memorable books that anyone is ever likely to read. <em>--Susan  Harrison</em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The story of Martin the Warrior, and how he freed the woodlanders from the tyrannical rule of Queen Tsarmina. This was my favorite book growing up, and I still get a great deal of joy from reading it. It's the prequel to Jacque's more famous Redwall, and I think the best of the lot.
