A Bally Great Book wot wot

Mad Maudie along with Orkwil Prink, Rangval the Rogue, and Gorath the Flame unite to together rid the world of the evil Gruntan Kurdly and Vizka Longtooth. A great book of dashing and debonair deeds accomplished by all the "good guys." The book also was hysterically funny with codj's foolishness, Rangvarl's also woefull want for food, Gruntan Kurdly's craving for hardboiled eggs and the antics of Mad Maudie. Altogether, A bloomin great book wot wot

Brian Jacques again creates the fresh, unforgettable characters who abound in the world of Redwall

"Who will defend Redwall Abbey, in its days of peril and strife? The beast who shuns both armour and sword, Torn from the simple life. He with destiny marked on his brow, Who walks with the banished one. Send forth a maid to seek out the Flame, To rule when the old Lord is gone!" Mad Maudie Assistant cook Mad Maudie (the Hon.) Mugsberry Thropple has been asked to go on a mission. Not only is this an important mission because the great Badger Lord Asheye of Salamandastron has asked her, but it is her last chance to redeem herself and stay in good membership with the famous Long Patrol. Despite the warnings of terrible danger, the young haremaid is more than happy to seek out a giant badger named Gorath. After all, how hard can it be? Little does she know the perils that await her and the great adventures she will encounter as she plunges into battle with the Salamandastron war cry "Eulalia-a-a-a-a-a-!". Gorath Afflicted with the "Bloodwrath," Gorath, a giant badger, is scarred across his forehead (Gorath the Flame) from a vicious beating by the evil pirate captain Vizka Longtooth. Gorath is bent on avenging his grandparents' deaths and saving Redwall Abbey, but he does not understand that he has been chosen by Lord Asheye to succeed him at Salamandastron. It is not until he meets the fair Salixa that he is able to see a different future for himself and the friends he has met on his journey to Redwall. Vizka Longtooth A handsome golden fox and Captain of the ship Bludgullet, the sly, quick-talking Vizka Longtooth creates fear and death wherever he goes. He captures the giant badger and practically kills him. When he discovers the Badger's "Bloodwrath," he decides to use it for his own purposes in his quest to conquer Redwall Abbey. Gruntan Kurdly The warlord Gruntan Kurdly, a brownrat of great height and girth with a "mind that was teetering on the brink of madness," loves his hard-boiled eggs and being pampered. In fact, his physical comfort is so important that he wears down his crew as they carry him from place to place and try to meet his demands. Though Kurdly proves no match in leadership to Longtooth, he and his wildly painted crew manage to create plenty of trouble for the defenders of Redwall. Rangval the Rogue This overactive squirrel travels with Maudie as he offers his services while she looks for Gorath. He is full of mischief but is also a great soldier. Fighting beside Maudie, he uses his wit and quickness to achieve many impossible tasks. He provides humor and a great appetite for the delicious foods offered at the Abbey and from Maudie's limited menus on the road. Maudie's little troop soon comes to appreciate this wild and wacky little guy. Orkwil Prink Orkwil Prink is just a young hedgehog, but because of his propensity toward stealing things, he has been forced to leave the Abbey. Though good-hearted, Orkwil simply cannot help himself when it comes to "borrowing" things from his friends. In an attempt to teach the feisty h

Eulalia!-Redwall Series

I enjoyed this book. It was based on the tried and true formula that made Brian Jacques so popular and it is always interesting to see previous characters and locations included in the storyline.

Great Tale from Redwall

Brian Jacques does it again! This fascinating story of Gorath, a badger taken captive by sea pirates, is filled with all the things that make a Redwall tale wonderful -- loyal friends, nasty fiends, lots of feasting, and an unknown destiny for our hero. Lots of action! A real treat!

Another winner!!

The adventure continues throughout the book with some old friends and new friends from the series. As usual Martin the Warrior sends visions. The young orphaned badger, troublemaking hare, and a sneakthief hedgehog all learn many life lessons. With two separate threats, the sea raiders and brown rats, each planning to conquer Redwall, several unexpected groups join to defeat the enemies. New friends become true friends in this grand adventure. The play on words and names adds to the writing we have come to enjoy from Brian Jacques.
