That's b/c in Redwall one season is a year  :P

That hasn't exactly been proven as such. ;)  I think its up to the individual reader to decide whether they interpret age in years, or whether a season is literally a season, and there are four seasons in a year.

Aye, ye could 'ave vone zeazon reprezent four yearz!

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

You cannot actually take four seasons and put it into a year, because then, you'd have a 16 seasons mouse who was four years old. That doesn't really work.

Seasons are more like animal years.(IMO of course)

Why does that not work?  A mouse can live four years, but a four year old mouse is quite old! ;)  I think its entirely plausible in Redwall.

What we don't really know, is how much time passes between each books.

That's right, we don't, that's why we can never entirely figure out how long a "season" really is, whether its meant literally or figuratively to mean "year". ;)
