Erin's review
Redwall (Redwall, Book 1)
by Brian Jacques
Deeper n' deeper pie! And shrimp hotroot soup! I heartily agree, the Redwall feasts were the best part of the books. I'd always bookmark them so I could read them when I was hungry.
Looking forward to seeing other childhood books we agree on.
And the moles' pudding!
I LOVE the food in the books.
