Well, I've read Triss and it's another one of my favorites. I've also encouraged my sister to read the books, and she's part way through Redwall right now.

I really don't think there is a book called Sunflash the Mace. I'm pretty sure he was in Salamandastron.

I know he went to Salamandastron, but I thought he was in Outcast of Redwall? I'm pretty sure that one had two stories; I think one was Outcast of Redwall.

Ok, I'm wrong! He was not in the book Salamandastron, but he was in Outcast. Thanks for catching my little mistake!

What do you folks think of the food in Redwall? My mum found this website where they have recipies for drinks, desserts and all around favorites like Hotroot soup and Deeper n' ever pie. http://www.redwall.net/kitchen/
I've been wanting to read Triss. I'm going to read it once it's back at the library, but if it's anything like Taggerung...I thought it was a bit too tame.
My favorites are:
Marlfox
The Bellmaker
Mattimeo
The Legend of Luke
The Outcast of Redwall
And Salamandastron. All of them fighting books. I'm very warrior minded, and a cool character dies in every single one of 'em. :*( Doesn't make me too happy wot wot.
Cheers,
Sam
ps. Who're your favorite creatures? Mine are the otters and shrews.

I love Redwall! I haven't read the latest one, because I've been busy with a VERY long fantasy series, but I had better go get it out of the library. My favorite would have to be Mattimeo and Redwall though. They are all very good, but the originals have always seemed the best to me.

I believe that the author of the redwall series meerly copied the extensive wave of information that was present from the lord of the rings and the hobbit.

The hobbit was the foundations for a world-wide success story which has spanned 50 years of growth, depression and fame.

question: how would he have done that? because the redwall series is not really like LOTR or the Hobbit. it does have it's similaries, yes, but honestly, all books seem to be connected to eachother.

going back and looking at the hobbit and LOTR, I see things that look like the redwall series, but you can do the same with other books. if anything, the redwall series copies itself over and over. I mean, after they built Redwall Abbey, the same thing seems to be happening. the hero goes on a trip for some reason, and the Abbey is put under attack by some evil thing.

maybe I should read them again, but personally, I don't think that Brian Jaques really copied much of anything, and that which it seems that he has was just a part of something that all fiction writers use.

I have endured much ridicule from redwall. Told my friends I wanted to be Lady Amber. *hugs squirrel* lately I have been more into lotr, (which by far beats out redwall) but i love redwall. The riddles in the first book were great, not to mention the ending. I-am that is, ooh, chill bumps!!!! That made me all excited when I read that. I have found my place. *big group hug!*
