Castaways of the Flying Dutchman Discussion

Is it scary like The Ribbajack is?

[redwallgurl]

Yes it's not scary at all. It's more like Redwall adventure but with humans.

Yes it's not scary at all. It's more like Redwall adventure but with humans.

Then it must be good!

Found a great poem about the Flying Dutchman.

See you, beneath yon cloud so dark, Fast gliding along, a gloomy bark? Her sails are full, though the wind is still, And there blows not a breath her sails to fill! Oh! what doth that vessel of darkness bear? The silent calm of the grave is there, Save now and again a death-knell rung, And the flap of the sails, with night-fog hung! There lieth a wreck on the dismal shore Of? cold and pitiless Labrador; Where, under the moon, upon mounts of frost, Full many a mariner's bones are tost!

Yay! Two days ago I bought the Castaways series, and am just waiting for it to arrive!

[Firetail]

Love the voyage of slaves! And the song......Bellaraga the one that a wed....

Re-reading them...Again...For a long time, I wouldn't touch them. I was afraid they wouldn't be as good as the Redwall books, and then the small pedestal I have Brian would get tarnished, and fall to the ground.....(Don't judge me.) But now? I love em!

[Captain Tammo]

I think I may give them a re-read myself. I thought the whole series was absolutely fantastic! And the best part was it never got old or boring for me. I felt that the whole thing was of very high quality (of course, this is Brian Jacques we're talking about, so I suppose that's nothing new) and was a very dynamic trilogy

I just reread them. I am gaining a new appreciation of Mr. Jacques' clean, entertaining style. It's like a breath of fresh air. Aaaaah.
