Publisher's summary

When Redwall was published in 1987 it catapulted author Brian Jacques to international stardom. And small wonder! This enthralling tale is jam-packed with the things we long for in a great adventure: danger, laughter, hairbreadth escapes, tragedy, mystery, a touch of wonder, a truly despicable villain, and a hero we can take to heart.

That hero is Matthias, a young mouse who must rise above his fears and failures to save his friends at Redwall Abbey. The villain is Cluny the Scourge, one of the most deliciously despicable rats of all time. The unforgettable cast of supporting characters includes the stalwart badger Constance, an irrepressible hare named Basil Stag Hare, and the elderly wisemouse Brother Methuselah.

But most of all there is Matthias, seeking his true destiny in a journey that will lead through danger and despair to true wisdom.

Don't miss any of Brian Jacques' Redwall series.

Enjoyable Narration

I own the book as well as the audiobook, so I switched between listening during my 2 hour commutes and reading once I got home. However, I found myself enjoying the narration so much, I would put it on at home as well. Brian Jacques is a true storyteller rather than just a narrator or writer, and that really does shine through. As the author, he also brings a confidence in the material, names, and accents (like with Foremole) that I feel might’ve been lost on other narrators.

For anyone concerned about whether this is truly unabridged even though it has a “full cast,” it really is unabridged and follows the book word by word. Only the dialogue lines are read by voice actors to give the characters a bit more flavor. I was a little confused why they made Cluny sound a bit like Ren from Ren and Stimpy, but it worked.

An epic story

This book, and infact this whole series is fantastic. Sure, after a while it becomes a little predictable, but hey, it's for kids! They like that! My ten year old brother has all the books from audible and has heard them all at least five times. Do not, however, confuse the book with a kiddie story, because there is a good bit of violence, especialy in the later books. I would recomend getting this, it's well worth your money.

Wonderful Production

This unabridged reading of Redwall is almost a full radio drama! It is wonderfully done with different voices for different characters. It was a very enjoyable listen.

One of of my favorites!

I read this in paperback first and bought the audio to introduce on a long car trip to my kids. We had a great time and didn't turn on the DVD player once.

A children's classic!

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this story. Great story for children and adults as well. Wonderful performance by the cast, and I really appreciate the fact that they chose to include having the author as the Narrator as well. Well done! In fact, so well done that I have now bought all of the Redwall series that Audible has. Highly recommended!
