I adore this book, as I do all of the Redwall novels. I read this one right after reading Mariel of Redwall, and before reading any of the others. I found that I had a very rich foundation by reading this before others which come before, chronologically. (

Another enjoyable adventure in the Redwall series. Not being a junior adult reader, but a senior who likes to read such fiction, I find these stories simply entertaining and relaxing reading. A simple and refreshing way to spend a few hours of fantasy, not a bad way to leave the hectic world of reality. (

This is a beautiful work of fiction that cleverly intertwines important values such as selflessness, love, and courage in a brilliantly vivid animal world. If I am ever to have children, I will definitely try my best to get them interested in Brian Jaques's Redwall books. (

Amazon.com (ISBN 044100315X, Paperback)

Vicious Foxwolf, Urgan Nagru--a fox who long ago discovered the body of a wolf and skinned it to wear as his own--is holding the young Mariel and Dandin captive. The pair are at the mercy of the evil despot and have only one hope of survival. But can they really count on the legendary freedom fighter, Martin the Warrior, to come to their rescue?

The Bellmaker fairly boils over with passion, intrigue, and adventure. A true page-turner, the heat is immediately turned to high, and never cools until the close of the very last chapter. Brian Jacques's skill lies in creating fantastical yet believable characters, placing them in an extraordinary yet convincing setting and then letting loose with a flood of imagination that takes the breath away. One of the best writers of our time, Jacques comes through once again for his readers in this remarkable tale of good triumphing over evil. --Susan Harrison
