On the other hand, what if Polleekin knows that she is not a seer but a crazy beast who has hallucinations.

She really didn't seem to be that type.

I still say that Polleekin didn't know exactly what was going to happen, so she couldn't tell Martin even if she wanted to.

For one thing, they would have to be pretty elaborate hillusionations. The secand, well, she just didn't really seem to be craized at all.

Hallucinations can be quite elaborate.

She needn't be outwardly crazy; in fact, the inwardly crazy tend to have wilder thoughts.

P.S. "Hillusionations"!?  By the fur, is that the horrible illusion of someone having eaten your "secand" satchel of rations?  Dreadful, simply dreadful! ;D  But I thought that all the hullabaloo was about those bloody hallucinations.

Me neither.

Never gathered that Polleekin would have hallucinations from the text or description of her.  Usually Mr. Jacques is pretty black and white with his characters and descriptions.  If she was cuckoo, you'd know (e.g. Madd the squirrel).

:-[ I've never had the chance to meet Madd, but I'm sure that she was as crazy as a hare after shrimp and hotroot soup.

Hares eat anything; a hare after shrimp and hotroot soup doesn't sound crazy to me

My point was that the hare would be 'crazy' motivated to eat it, not that being thus motivated would be crazy.

No matter from any angle you look at it, I don't think it will ever make sense completely why Polleekin didn't tell about Rose's death...

If she did, they might not have gone, and Martin wouldn't have gotten his sword, and Redwall wouldn't be built, etc. So Rose kind of HAD to die.
Martin the Warrior is way more epic than Mickey Mouse. Anyone who says otherwise is insane, or just wrong.

You could add to that Mad Maudie, from Lord Brocktree
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
