Book 7 of a series of stories concerning the creatures of Redwall Abbey, this is a great swashbuckling adventure concerning Joseph the Bellmaker. He has a dream in which Martin the Warrior tells him to go on a quest in search of and to rescue his daughter Mariel, who's a warrior herself. This one was a real page turner! I can't wait to read the others.
What I learned from this book: the creatures of Redwall Abbey eat amazing well. I think the author loved particularly to dream up the delights...more

My mom picked this book up for me from a $5 table at the grocery store and I have read every book in this series since that day. Classic good versus evil plotline. Fantastically written and one that can be read aloud to kids, this book captures your attention as well as your heart from the first page. I fell in love with every character, as well as Brian Jacques' way with words. Just wait until he describes a Redwall feast. You will be wiping the drool from the corners of your mouth!

I really enjoyed this one for the change of scenery, and the characters were a little more colorful than usual. A fox whose so mean he skinned a wolf and runs around wearing the skin? Yup, my gruesome childhood self loved that stuff.
Mariel was less obnoxious than she was in the previous book, thankfully.

The Redwall books ought to be a perennial children's favorite. They are simple and formulaic, but it's a good formula! Jacques has a real gift for dialect, and culinary descriptions. I credit an early fascination with the Redwall stories for my modern-day feats of gastronomic delight. "Salad anna scone!"

At first, I was skeptical... I mean, talking badgers and mice? Well, I must say the book was enjoyable and fun, though I think I would have liked it a lot more if I had read this while a child. Keeping in mind that it is aimed at that audience, this wasn't bad.

Another one of the best in the series.
The riddles are very clever and there is a lot of action and humor.

I don't remember entirely, but I'm pretty sure this is where he officially started running dry on ideas.

Tied with "Mariel of Redwall" for the lamest book in the series.

I'd kind of outgrown the series by the time I got to this one.
