What is the best age to start reading Redwall?

[shisteer of nothing much]

Probably around ten, I'd say.

My son was 8 when he received the first Redwall book (named after the first book in the series) by Brian Jacques. He became obsessed with the series and devoured each one.
I started to read Salamandastron when I was about 12.

I was 8 or 9 at the time, however it really depends on your level of development. I was also reading LOTR and Shakespeare about the same time, so I was a bit of a special case.

I also was about 7-8 when I started reading, but I was a fairly advanced reader at the time. I credit Redwall for probably teaching me most of my vocabulary in all honesty, given they were very close to the only books I read from the ages 7-12.

Hmm, I was 11 I think, but sure it would suit from the age of 7 up.

It's only some of the killing scenes that maybe some might find unsettling, and maybe things like the slavery in Mattimeo. But tbh I don't think any of it is that dark, and the good creatures always win so at least it keeps a sense of optimism.

Hi!  I loved these books as a kid and also as an adult.  What age do you thing would be appropriate to start reading Redwall?  I'm thinking about getting the books for my 10 year old nephew, what do you think?

I am 10, I read these books, and I fell in love with them. They are great! You should definitely get them.
