Redwall facts for kids

The Redwall series was written by author Brian Jacques.

Redwall is a popular series of books created by the author Brian Jacques. The first book came out in 1986. In these stories, all the characters are animals! You'll meet brave mice, sneaky rats, busy moles, playful otters, and many other creatures like stoats and weasels. The main setting for many of the tales is a large, peaceful home called Redwall Abbey, and the stories are about the animals who live there.

The Redwall books have been very popular. They were even made into an opera and an animated TV series. The TV show was based on three of the novels: Redwall, Mattimeo, and Martin the Warrior, and it first aired in 1999. The books are mostly written for older children and young teens. There are twenty-two main story books and two picture books in the series. The very last book, The Rogue Crew, was published on May 3, 2011, after Brian Jacques passed away.

What is Redwall About?

The stories in the Redwall series don't all happen in one specific time period. Instead, they take place across many different moments in the long history of the Redwall world. Some books focus on characters who are seen as important figures from the past in other books. For example, Martin the Warrior's father, Luke, has his own story in The Legend of Luke. These books often tell tales from before Redwall Abbey was even built.

There is a timeline for the Redwall series, but it often puts the books in a different order than when they were first published. However, there were two times when the books were released in the same order as they happened in the story.
