Redwall

Redwall, Book 1

De: Brian Jacques

Narrado por: Ariyon Bakare

The book that inspired a legend—the first novel in the bestselling saga of Redwall.

Welcome to Mossflower Wood, where the gentle mice have gathered to celebrate a year of peace and abundance. All is well…until a sinister shadow falls across the ancient stone abbey of Redwall. It is rumored that Cluny is coming—Cluny, the terrible one-eyed rat and his savage horde—Cluny, who has vowed to conquer Redwall Abbey! The only hope for the besieged mice lies in the lost sword of the legendary Martin the Warrior. And so begins the epic quest of a bumbling young apprentice—a courageous mouse who would rise up, fight back…and become a legend himself.

“The medieval world of Redwall Abbey—where gallant mouse warriors triumph over evil invaders—has truly become the stuff of legend.”—Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“A grand adventure story. Once the reader is hooked, there is no peace until the final page.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Wonderful Novel

A top tier tale, an adequate performance. Sometimes the reader made me laugh with his over the top character voices. I didn’t like that he would mispronounce the occasional word like adding a “V” sound instead of “TH” in the words “gather”, “altogether” and “brother”. Also a “F” sound at the end of “Red tooth” sometimes. A great book though, regardless of the reader and my 5 year old nephew fell in love with it! We called each other “Cheese Thief” and “Rag Ear” after listening and he wanted to hear it every night!

Fun story telling

The reader did an amazing job bringing the characters to life and emotion. a fun classic story well told.

I liked the different voices and acting talent of the narrator, and the accents were quite wonderful.

Our whole family loves this story.

My whole family loves this story. My son borrowed it on audio cd from our local library when he was just a boy. I bought it on audible, to share with the next generation starting with my my son's daughter. The story teaches strength, honor, courage, and love.

Amazing

This book is great! As a person who loves rodents of all kinds I appreciate how many different kinds of rodents they worked into the book and story line. Although it was kind of hard to understand the crows the part where the worrier mouse was stuck in the crow court. My personal favorite character was War Beak and I loved listening to her transformation from a blood thirsty crow to a mouses best friend.

Very sweet and down to earth

I loved imagining all these ferocious creatures battling but then they’re all so small and cute in reality. The story was written really well and it had beautiful imagery and world building. The characters are endearing and it all feels very cosy and down to earth!

Great Story; Odd Narrator Cadence at Times

I love Redwall. I always will. This reader does excellent most of the time, but sometimes he slows down at the end of a sentence with no good effect. The example that sticks out to me was "fell...a....sleep...." instead of just reading out "fell asleep." He does this a lot, too. It can take me out of the story. Other than that, things were good.
