Redwall is my favorite series...I even used it as the topic for my Master's thesis.  Whenever I'm feeling like there are no good books to read, I pull out one of these and I'm reminded that there are fun books to escape into!  And the books on CD are my go to books for my iPod.  I can't imagine what I would do if there wasn't any Redwall!

[Ungatt Trunn]

Whenever I feel depressed, or like everything around me is just goung wrong, I can just go and escape into a Redwall book. I've descovered a wonderful world in this series that I could never find in my normal life. Thank you, Brian Jacques, for making the greatest fantasy series of all time.

[The Skarzs]

You have been the cause of hours of enjoyment reading all your wonderful books, thinking of tunes to match your songs to, and figuring out the riddles. If not for your books, I would not be the person I am today. Thank you.

[Russano the Wise]

Thank you, Brian Jacques for all the incredible books you've written. They are truly wonderful to read, and I love getting lost in the beautiful descriptions and exciting stories that you tell in each and every book. Thank you so much!  

[Lutra]

Redwall as a story was one of the first of many titles involving what you might call "animal fantasy" stories that I read throughout high school, and later, college.  The series has presented me with many hours of enjoyment; I often will re-read stories when I need something to do and don't want to sit at a computer.

Thank you Mr. Jacques.

Redwall is the only book series that remains as influential in my life today as it was in my childhood. I've always been an avid reader, so this is very noteworthy coming from me. I still love getting into the books, meeting the heroes and watching Mossflower fall and rise with the endless turn of seasons. This is such an enchanting series. Brian will always be loved for bringing such wonderful stories into the world, and he will always be missed. I'll always be sorry I never took the chance to meet him when I could have.

Without Redwall and the other works of Mr. Jacques, I wouldn't just be short of good memories and books to have and read and enjoy. We'd also all be without the ROC and its long history, and all the impact the books have had on our lives and imaginations.

Thank you Mr. Jacques.

[Gonff the Mousethief]
