About the author

James Brian Jacques was an English author celebrated for the Redwall series of children’s fantasy novels and the Castaways of the Flying Dutchman books, along with several collections of short stories that blend adventure, folklore, and the supernatural. Raised in Liverpool, he left school at fifteen and pursued a wide range of occupations, including merchant seaman, truck driver, bus driver, and entertainer, experiences that later enriched the characters and settings of his fiction. His love of literature, encouraged from childhood, remained constant, and he continued writing poems, plays, and stories throughout adulthood. While working as a milkman, he began reading aloud to students at a school for the blind, inspiring him to craft vividly descriptive tales that relied on sound, smell, taste, and touch. These readings evolved into the manuscript for Redwall, which launched a bestselling series known for its heroic quests, detailed feasts, and intense battles between good and evil. The books achieved international popularity, selling millions of copies and being translated into many languages, as well as adapted for television and audio. Jacques also hosted a long-running radio program devoted to opera and maintained strong ties to his hometown. His stories, rooted in memory, imagination, and compassion for young readers, continue to captivate audiences worldwide.

[Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading these through 6th-8th grade will always be imprinted on my young memory as some of the best times I had in escaping reality and venturing into a fantasy world. There are over 20 books in this series, each around 300-400 pages. I read at least 18 or so of them and have never got around to finishing them up despite owning the whole series now (I'm 27 as I write this). Perhaps that age that I read them, was the best time of reading them and I recommend for that group of older children to early teens. It is classic good vs evil with themes of nobility, honor, friendship, loyalty, warrior mindset, and even some nurture vs nature stuff. I will always hold Mossflower deep in my heart as a place where justice, peace, and true community and love exist. Oh by the way, all the characters are animals (mainly rodents) and my favorite pet as a kid was a hamster so there's that.

I’ve read every single one of these books and was a devoted fan my entire life, burying myself in the magnificent and multi-faceted world of Redwall Abbey, Mossflower Country, and beyond!

Though the idea of species being specifically good or evil is definitely outdated and can be considered problematic, MANY works explore the ideas of nature vs nurture, especially in The Outcast of Redwall and The Taggerung!

Explore themes of feminism in High Ruhlain, childhood trauma in The Taggerung, fighting for others in The Long Patrol, love and loss in Martin the Warrior, and beyond! This series has something for everyone but be aware…it’s way more than cutesy woodland animals in a medieval setting! There’s many light moments, but serious topics and violence are very much there!

I will love these books until the day I die!

Only read Pearls of Ultra, really enjoyable book, great characters (especially the owl). The poems, rhymes, jigs and shanty songs were all a bit too much and I ended up doing over them...I would recommend it as a book to read to the kids (though there is a little violence) so maybe one to enjoy yourself.

There really is nothing quite like Redwall. I've lost count how many times I've read this series from end to end (I've done Taggurung alone over 10 times). Worldbuilding, humour, danger, intrigue, adventure and of course grand feasts! Redwall has every right to sit in the the great pantheon of British fiction, alongside Middle Earth, Harry Potter and Narnia

[Terry Burgess · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read the entire series when I was younger. Excellent escapism for a younger audience.

[NothingButBooks]

This series is very good. The Old English language paired with the fun animal tribes and traditions make this series all the better. Everyone who is 16+ should read this series.

The reason why I really started reading in the first place. RIP to a legend.

Goated series shoutout Jacques RIP

[Fernando F. · Rating 5 out of 5]

My 5 star rating is 95% nostalgia, and i don’t care. This man shaped my love for fantasy, and gave me moral foundations for the rest of my life.

For Martin!!!
