This is an interesting topic. Mum read them to us (me and my siblings) when I was about six but I only recently started reading them myself.
    I have a shiny thing! See?

Long live the RRR!

It depends on the individual and what they've been exposed to. I grew up with Lord of the Rings as a bedtime story so I can cope with basically anything. Some children are less hardened.

I started reading them when I was about... Five or six? I read a lot.
And I am VERY hardened.
The following is a list of things to bring on holiday:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
42 ~ Seb's Humility ~ Seb's toothbrush ~ Seb's soul ~ Half a Plane ~ Your Toothbrush ~ A creeping anxiety every time you look at your toothbrush ~ Pure Terror every time you look at your toothbrush ~ Death every time you look at your toothbrush

I had to move everything off the list but the bare essentials to make way for this:

I can tell.

There is a fairly large amount of violence in Redwall so small children who are inclined to get nightmares and such might want to practice with something slightly less... bloodthirsty. (Ranger's Apprentice, for example)

Although Ranger's Apprentice has it's fair share of bloodthirstyness as well.
Spoiler
I remember that one of the villains died when some iron-eating acid was splashed onto his face and... Well, let's just say it killed him. However, I agree that RA is probably a lot less violent than Redwall. Just making an observation.

I suppose RA has a few gruesome details but there's more vinegar in Redwall.
Spoiler
Actually, the acid wasn't what killed him. The acid caused him to stumble backwards and he fell to his death out the tower window. Personally, I felt more sympathy towards the poor servants who had to clean the blood and guts off the courtyard.

(Sebias)
I've been looking back over these past few months, and I've felt off. Felt different. At the time, I wanted nothing more than to go back to the good old days.
But now? Could I just ignore all the ways I've suffered and grown? Caught hold and let go? Could I return from life, having now lived?

(His profile pic looked like a tortoise to Shisteer.)

It looks like a ninja turtle but with feet, rather than flippers.
