Favourite Children's Books (Part Eleven)

The Redwall Series by Brian Jacques. Wow. Ali was given a few of these books from Liz one summer and we've never looked back. How could we? A typical extract:

"Furlo Stump the cellar-keeper poured himself a beaker of October Ale. 'Be you not careful, marm, an' Martin'll sit on yore knee agin an' scoff all that bread'n'cheese, I'll wager!' he chortled.

"Rolle put aside a platter which had contained chestnut and blackberry flan and banged the tabletop with a soup ladle. 'Come on, you young 'uns, how's about a bit of song and dance for your poor elders before we fall asleep from boredom!' "

And yes, I did type that from the book I am currently reading...


Yours, etc.
