>>24750820Most based children's book writer of all time. MAYBE Lemony Snicket gives him a run for his money, but I still think Jacques clears.
>>24750820>our guyHe attended St John's Roman Catholic school in Kirkdale, where his favourite teacher was Austin Thomas, a former Second World War army captain. Thomas had a major impact on Jacques: "I was fourteen at the time when Mr. Thomas introduced the class to poetry and Greek literature. It was because of him, I saved seven shillings and sixpence to buy The Iliad and The Odyssey at this dusty used book shop.
>>24750820i fucking love those booksRedwall is fantastickinda like LotR but anthropomorphic rodents
>>24750833>Lemony SnicketExcellent series
The Redwall series is based
>>24750843>Brian Jacques is what happens when you start with the Greeks
>>24750820The real reason is that he lived through WW2 rationing and famine and fetishized food & plenty
I spent all of my preteen years reading every Redwall book I could get my hands on. I kinda want to reread them sometime but I'm afraid of spoiling my childhood image of the series.
>>24751079I just re-read Redwall for the first time since I was a kid, it’s excellent. More violent than I remember.
>>24751197Every Redwall book with a badger or rabbit main character is insanely violent, I don't know how he got away with it.
>>24751331The villain gets every bone in his body broken in Lord Brocktree, it's hardcore.
>>24750820Why did he hate deaf kids?
>>24750820i never realised redwall was written by a proper geezer
This has inspired me to buy the entire collection in hard cover (where possible) and reread them.

Is this like the cats series called warriors? I had never heard of them before either until recently. I remember only goosebumps and animorphs both of which i only read the synopsis.
>>24753339I haven't read those cat warrior books, but from what i've heard, they sound similar
These are actually great books for kids, defend your friends, train for war and fight if you must, enjoy food and hope for peace, honor your ancestors and keep tradition.
