redwall abbey; even though it's not real, does it still feel like it sometimes?

[cregga rose eyes]

The same way you know it exists!

But then why didn't anybody else figure out its existence before him??

Maybe no one looked hard enough.

Yes, BJ was a great man, probubly the reason about how he found Redwall Abbey. Do you think he ever visited that world?

[Shadowed One]

I hope so, because if he could, we could!

[sir squidsalot]

I think in theory it does exist in an alternate dimension, anything and everything does.

[Redwallfan7]

I think it would be cool if a replica of the abbey was made that people could actually visit.

[Tam and Martin]

Yes and it had everything in redwall and they would get a tour and...there's so many other things!

[Ajc3000fox]

I think i know what is meant here. Often times, despite knowing Redwall if fictional, i expect to be able to find it. Like i could actually journey to mossflower and visit....It a wonderful the Jacques could create a world that could do that.

A real-life Redwall series theme park with a real Redwall building where they offer you Redwall-caliber feasts is something I've dreamed of for a long time.

Also, a Salamandastron building would be cool.

[Redwallfan7]

If that were a reality, then I would visit whenever I could

[Ungatt Trunn]

So would I!

[Shadowed One]

I want to be rich and build it, then I could live there!

[Ungatt Trunn]

Yea, but it just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't in the World of Redwall Abbey

How do we know it's not real?

Exactly! Sometimes when I'm feeling weirder than usual, I wonder about some really strange stuff. Like, are events in books really real in some other plane of existence/dimension? Are authors just aware somehow of these events and that's how they get their "story ideas"? Or do these things happen because they wrote them? What about us? Are we just characters in some book? Is some author "out there" aware of our stories or is the author "writing" us?

[Kitsune]

That sounds a bit like Tolkien! He said that when you write, you create that world, or something like that. Not in reallity, though.

Redwall Abbey feels very real to me. Brian Jacques was such an amazing, masterful storyteller. He was just so very gifted and his imagery is so precise and outta this world, you really can close your eyes and picture all the details perfectly. He was a genious, and I love his works...including Castaways of the Flying Duchman series; wow, it's awesome.

I find myself seeing little creatures out and about in my daily life and I think to myself, "oh look! there goes Triss!", or "OMGosh, there is a mouse in the garage, could it be Martin?" etc.

SO much fun, Brian's gift to us! Redwall Abbey seems very real to me. I often wish there would be a really cool Redwall boardgame, with little character pieces you get to move around the board, and flip cards and such.
