When Redwall was published in 1987 it catipulted author Brian Jacques to
international stardom. Ans small wonder! This enthralling tale is jam-packed with
the things we long for in a great adventure: danger, laughter, hairbreath excapes,
tragedy, mystery, a touch of wonder, a truly despicable villain, and a hero we can
take to heart.
That hero is Matthias, a young mouse who must rise above his fears and failures to
save his friends at Redwall Abbey. The villain is Cluny the Scourage, one of the
most deliciously despicable rats of all time. The unforgettable cast of supporting
characters includes the stalwart badger Constance, an irrepressible hare named
Basil Stag Hare, and the elderly wisemouse Brother Methuselah.
But most of all there is Matthias, seeking his true destiny in a journey that will lead
through danger and despair to true wisdom.
In the fourteenth Redwall novel by New York Times bestselling author Brian
Jacques, the clan of Sawney Rath kidnaps one of Redwall's own-a baby otter who
they believe is destined to become their Taggerung, the warrior hero of ancient
legend. But as the young Taggerung grows, he rebels against his destiny and goes
off in search of the place he was born-a home he can barely remember. Tagg is
pursued by a member of Sawney's clan, out to destroy the deserter and claim the
title of Taggerung. Is the otter the Taggerung after all? And if he is not, who is he?
In this twelfth book of the masterful Redwall epic, storyteller Brian Jacques goes
back in time to the days before Redwall, revealing with dramatic poignancy the
legend of the first of the magnificent Redwall warriors--Luke, father of Martin.
Joined by Trimp the Hedgehog, Dinny Foremole, and Gonff--the
ever-mischievous Prince of Mousethieves--it is that legend Martin hopes to
discover when he embarks on a perilous journey to the northland shore, where
his father abandoned him as a child. There, within the carcass of a great red
ship--broken in half and wedged high up between pillars of stone--he finally
uncovers what he has been searching for: the true story of the evil pirate stoat,
Vilu Daskar, and the valiant warrior who pursued him relentlessly over the high
seas, seeking to destroy Vilu at all costs, even if it meant deserting his only son.
