Redwall

Redwall, Book 1

De: Brian Jacques

Narrado por: Brian Jacques, Full Cast

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.©1995 The Redwall Abbey Company, Ltd. (P)1997 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, An Imprint Of Random House Audio Publishing Group

A mousesized swashbuckling tale

I am reading the Redwall series and enjoyed listening to the story and finding a voice for Martin, Mathias, Constance, Cornflower and the Moles and the Rats I feel it would be a great book to listen to with a group of children

Awesome

Very cute and good story, wish I had kids to read it to. ut it is not only for kids, as an adult I enjoyed it very much.

loved it!

THe story was very entertaining. I loved the "full cast" narration of the story and its characters . I can't wait to listen to more audiobooks in this series.

A very good listen

I truly love this series. The voice acting brings characters to life in ways that I struggle with while reading. (honestly, some of the accents need to be said aloud to be understood)

Good Read

Great cast! enjoyed the way they brought the characters to life. would definitely consider continuing the series.
