Great Redwall Feast: Amazon.ca: Books

Set after the first Redwall novel, the one involving Cluny the Scourge, this cute Redwall story involves memorable characters from that book (eg: Matthias the warrior, Basil Stag Hare, Cornflower, Constance, Sam the squirrel, etc.)

Told in rhymes, we find out how the people of the Redwall Abbey try to set a surprise party for their abbot. Though they are in for a surprise themselves. Brian Jacques once again adds wonderful layers to this wonderful universe from which he seems to know every little detail.

A great round of applause too for Christopher Denise illustrations. His soft pastels and character designs are very gorgeous and give the Redwall universe very appealing art for younger readers and die-hard fans.

In the end, this gorgeous book is another pearl in the Redwall Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars flawless illustrations and a loooong poem, July 23 2002

This review is from: Great Redwall Feast (Paperback)

Fabulous illustrations occupy most of the page in this 64-page poem of 101 six-lined stanzas with an AACBBC rhyming scheme. The story incorporates many of the series' favorite characters, including Matthias and Cornflower, and depicts not only the preparations of a wonderful Redwall feast by hares and mice and otters, but includes a riddle as well.

This book is really beautiful and should be read aloud.

This review is from: Great Redwall Feast (Paperback)

My older children read this book to themselves and were not impressed, BUT when I read it outloud with a british accent they were mesmerized. It's now one of our favorites. The pictures are delightful. Now my five year old is a Redwall fan too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to Redwall!
I bought this book because my oldest son (5 years old) saw a part of the Redwall series on PBS. He loved it but the book series is too old for him yet. Read more
