When I was young, I would roar "EULALIA" in the face of my enemies whenever we played sports.

I am no longer that young. But on occasion, I still do this.

;_; He's dead. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW! I stopped reading his books when I went to High School, but I had all of them leading up to Rakkety Tam. These books were such a big part of my middle school, the original was definitely my favorite. If it weren't for those books, I would be such a different person than I am today...being a college frosh, looking back...

MATTHIAS YOU BRAVE MOTHERFUCKER. GOING FROM A BUMBLING YOUNG ABBEY MOUSE TO THE BRAVEST WARRIOR I'VE EVER SEEN, KILLING CLUNY AND MARRYING THE GENTLE CORNFLOWER THAT YOU LOVED! ಥ_ಥ.

REDWAAAAAAAALL!

He came to my town about 10 years ago and told me a joke.

"How do you get dragon's milk? You buy a cow with really short legs."

I love that man.

Good god, I'm having such an attack of nostalgia it almost hurts. I read so many of these books when I was a kid.

Loamhedge is the one I remember best. I fucking loved Bragoon and Saro, they represented the travelling adventurer I wanted to be. They die together at the end after being heroic as fuck and agree to walk together into the beyond. TOO MANY FEELS.

Oh and does anyone remember the part in Triss (I think that was it) where they sail to a vole (or something) colony island? Every night, all the voles have to line up and one by one walk under a stalactite and whoever it drips on gets sacrificed to a giant water snake. Scared the SHIT out of me. Dripping water makes me nervous.

Aw man and the animated series which covered Redwall, Mattimeo and Martin the Warrior!

This post should not have been in r/funny at all...

I own a majority of the Redwall books and have read them each multiple times. I haven't read them in years, but seeing this thread brings back some good memories. Thank you, reddit, for making my day.

I haven't seen anything concerning Redwall in years. I laughed when I saw the picture and then remembered the years I spent reading and rereading those books. I looked it up and the last book was published last year. Time to get back into them. Awesome.

Oh my. I cant believe this, nostalgia overload!! I clicked on the link and it was like I was back again, sitting in class sneaking a read through the fantasy land of Mossflower woods with the gallant hares and the crazy otters through the sunlit woods and swamplands, to the crashing shores of Salamandastron where the drinking songs float through the air of long ago battles. These books seriously made my childhood. Growing up in dreary, rainy old Lancashire they opened my mind up to the imaginary and the fantasy like never before. I wonder how I would have turned out now without them. I remember the Pearls of Lutra was one of the first true novels I ever read and this series was what really got me into reading

It makes me so unbelievably sad that Brian is gone. It was always my dream to meet him and talk to the man behind my late childhood. Once more for Redwall!!!!

EDIT: DID ANYONE KNOW THIS WAS CREATED??

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003O9HZHK

"It is a full length CD (43:52) with 10 tracks in a blend of large scale orchestrations, choir, and ambient electronic music. Each track represents a place, character, or event that is in most of the typical Redwall books with the intention to be a sort of imaginary soundtrack complementing the books. The music ranges from peaceful, happy, exciting and adventurous to sorrowful, dangerous, and downright evil."

Redwall references are something that most of Reddit is sorely lacking. Can we make some of these extremely popular on here to an obnoxious degree?

This was the first series of books that really got me into fantasy followed soon after by the Dragonriders of Pern. Thank you sir for helping me remember great times.

I'm too old to have read these when I was a kid, but I started reading Redwall to my 7 year old son a couple of weeks ago and we are almost done now. So good. I've seem my son's jaw drop several times. I've gotten to the end of a chapter and just stopped and looked at my son, both of us in stunned silence. Some of the chapter cliffhangers have had him literally yelling "NO!!!!" because we were done for the night. People talk about how brutal the Ice and Fire books are, but for sheer body count it seems like Redwall gives them a run for the money.

[deleted] · 6 months

God, Reddit's awesome. I never expected to find anyone else (in the world) who has read Redwall....sniff...it's so beautiful....

madsell · 6 months

guys question, what happened to Sam Squirrel's father in Mattimeo? He was in Redwall but then in Mattimeo it was just Jess. Did he die or did she leave him cause she was a lesbian or something like that? (I just always figured if someone had to be gay it was her for some reason). But I have no clue what happened to Mr. Squirrel...

omg, just reading the title, you took me back to those good ol' times! i've never really read the books (so stupid of me, i didn't know there was any, and i should've checked) but the show was badass!!!

Taco_Baron · 6 months

I obsessively read all of the Redwall books because of how awesome Brian Jacques was at having multiple story lines going on at at once, and how he'd always have them work their way back together in the conclusion :)

Shit_Pickles · 6 months

As I remember squirrels were not the best fighters, it was the fucken otters that kicked ass!

ToTheBlack · 6 months

Mossflower was the best. Sorry to be the band wagoner, but Martian was my favorite character.

Followed by Warbeak.

This was a great book series. also for those who liked the series, there was a few cartoons too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02w6Uz-yhBM

knightofmars · 6 months

I loved those books, I've always wondered what those giant 30 page feasts would look like on the big screen.

[deleted] · 6 months

Jacques really must have loved eating, doesn't it seem like he spent pages and pages describing feasts? Elderberry wine and all that? It seems like he spent as much time describing foodstuffs as Tolkien did describing various geographic features.

Being greatly bothered that /r/redwall is all about sharing wallpapers, I would like to cordially invite you all to /r/edwall or /r/mossflower! They're both new, and devoted to all things Redwall!

Please, make use of whichever you wish.
