Martin the Warrior is the first book chronologically because it tells about Martin before he gets to Mossflower woods... his life before that and all that stuff...

The babies and rabbits tend to be heros don't they? I think Rollo is my fav. baby, but Arwen definatly comes in at a close second. You have to love the mountain birds!

In the redwall series has anyone noticed the uncanny relationship between thhe badgers and rabbits?

They both appear in Salamandrastron, which may i add was the most dissapointing book in the series, in the most 'family guy' way.

The badgers are basically their lords. Read Taggerung was it to see what happens when the rabbits don't have badgers around to boss them when they're in large groups. What did you mean by family guy manner?

REDWALL RULES!!!!!!!!!!

I am a major Redwall fan!! I have every one of his books and will die if he doesn't write anymore of them!!!!!!(note excemation points) I love all the adventures. I cried when Rose died. the biggest question is that why did she die? What purpose did it serve? (stupid Question, sorry)

Redwall is great. wonderful. stupendous. fantastic. marvelous. excelent. any other word you can come up with... I read them out of order too... rather confusing isn't it???

What's everybody's favorite book in the series??? I would have to say Mossflower or else Pearls of Lutra... they're all good though.

They are all awesome so I can't think of my favorite. Lord Brocktree (which is supposted to really be the first even though it's really new) is, in my personaly opinion, almost the funniest. I probably should read them again to see which is my favorite.

I heard that Brian Jaquces said that if we kept reading the books, he'll keep writing them. Anyone know if it is true? If so, keep reading! If not, Keep reading!!!

I know the guy who designed Brian Jacques' website, Dave Lindsay. He goes to my school, and he's an outstanding guitarist.

As for the Redwall novels themselves, I've only read the original Redwall, and that was many years ago. I never really got into it... I just found Horwood's Duncton Chronicles (the first trilogy, not so much the second) to be far superior in terms of an animal-personification epic. But I suppose Redwall is more accessible for younger readers.

I also love Redwall! I haven't read them all yet, I am in the middle of The Pearls of Lutra. Next I need to read The Long Patrol and Taggerung, then I will have read them all! I love them all, I especially like Martin the Warrior. It was especially sad when Rose died!!! That was awful. But anyway, I heard that Brian Jacques was going to keep writing one a year, I hope he keeps on writing!!!

Taggerung is about a Otter who is kidnapped by a clan of evil rats and vermin. it's also about his jorney to find out who he really is. I'm trying not to spoil the book so I really can't give you much. sry

Actually, I meant where does it come chronologically (like between what books) so I can know where to put it on my bookshelf. But thanks for the info.
