Am I the only one who really thought the covers of the first US print editions were pretty cool, and didn't really care for the chapter illustrations?  For some reason, I just never warmed up to the chapter illustrations...some looked really weird, and not how I'd picture it.

(I'm a tad critical having read the Mistmantle Chronicles and seeing the chapter art for those books.  Makes Redwall look like a kid did the drawings in some cases if you compared the two.)

I'm not a huge fan of the chapter illustrations, either...I just skim through the pictures before reading the book...

I quite like the chapter illustrations, in particular David Elliot's work. You can see some of his Redwall stuff at his website.

I love David Elliot's work! ;D
^^That picture is from Doomwyte, isn't it? Or High Rhulain?
He was the one who illustrated High Rhulain, Doomwyte, Rakkety Tam, and Eulalia. Am I right? ???

Yes and yes! The picture is from High Rhulain, and David Elliot illustrated High Rhulain, Doomwyte, Rakkety Tam, and Eulalia. The wiki says he also illustrated the anniversary edition of Mossflower, Loamhedge and Triss.

Check out this apparently unpublished image from Mossflower.

-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.
