I only read up to Pearls of Lutra, but I heard they went to complete shit after that. I loved them when I was a kid and always wondered if they held up. I might reread this one once I finish the book I'm currently reading because it was always my favorite.

Salamandastron's really memorable

The Redwall books were the foundation of my childhood. They and the Hardy Boys books at my school library, together formed the staples of my young literary diet.

And they were fucking brutal, too. People got maimed and tortured and horrifically killed. I remember at the end of Lord Brocktree, the villain gets his spine snapped in several places.

I didn't know Jacques was dead. I really enjoyed his Flying Dutchman series, and was hoping he'd write more.

Read Mattimeo, Redwall, and Martin the Warrior because of the tv show as a kid.

Great books that still hold up fairly well today, especially Redwall

it's a server error, happens sometimes, your ? appeared in a random board wherever leofluk was intended. Anyway, are you seriously asking us whether, as a 4th grader, you had pleb tastes?

Although, it would be interesting if /lit/ classed the Redwall novels into quality tiers, i.e. which ones are the best & worst compared with one another.
