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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Wonderfully imaginative.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Brian Jacques has the true fantasy writer’s ability to create a wholly new and believable world.” (School Library Journal)

“Packed with action and imbued with warmth…richly inventive.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Exciting entertaining! Great for my eight-year-old

This book was a tough one. It was very outgoing and older child friendly. My eight-year-old enjoyed it very much. He told me about it all the time and now he has the whole series of books as well. Though I will say that this book has some mild language and it may not be so good for any child under six years or any child that has lots of fears. There are lots of funny characters and intense parts which make the book both entertaining and exciting. Those are some tragic moments so I recommend parents preview this audiobook before letting their children listen to it. But it's an excellent book for most everyone and I think that this book was great. Yours sincerely (very sincerely) pig widget.

Redwall

I had fun listening to this as an adult. I enjoyed Mathias’s journey as a kid, however I had forgotten how violent this is. Don’t get me wrong! It’s a great story, it’s what you’d call a YA Novel. Not a little kid’s book.

i always wanted to read these books

I am glad I am able to listen to these books now. This one was quite enjoyable.

Perfect, asian accent used by sparrows was a bit racist though

Great acting, great story, very dated hilarious racist asian accents used for Sparrows was interesting.

Exceptional all around!

I loved Brian's voice it was very relaxing! Amazingly done by the whole cast! I would recommend it to everyone!

We love this book!!!

I love this book! It was so much fun listening with my kids!! The readers did a great job! We can't wait to listen to the next book.

Fuzzy memories of my youth

I loved these books as a child and love the audio book as an adult:)

A children's classic

Brain Jacques has given the world one of the best written and engaging tales of love, compassion and team work. The woodland creatures present an amazing set of morals within stories that can hold anyone's attention start to finish. The full production cast can throw you for a loop if you are used to a single reader but by the end of the story you will be well used to in and appreciate the entire production immensely! I am an avid reader and listener too many kinds of fiction on a daily basis and it all stems from reading these books as child with my parents. Every family should introduce these stories to their children as early as possible.

Redwall Sings

This is a great YA novel with the mice and other creatures of Redwall featured as the primary stars. It is truly a world until it's own, one that is filled with bravery in the face of evil. I cannot recommend it enough.

Great Performance

This story is wonderful, but the performance is above and beyond expectation. We listened to this as a family and the children were so excited and couldn't wait for the next day's listening time.
