Rakkety Tam
There has never been a Redwall hero quite like Rakkety Tam, the roguish Highlander squirrel who sets off for Mossflower Wood on a mercenary errand, and loses his heart to the charms of Redwall Abbey...
And there's never been a villain quite like Gulo the Savage: a vicious beast-eating wolverine who descends upon the Abbey in search of a relic called the Walking Stone.
Readers will cheer at the return of the Long Patrol, the antics of a renegade vole thief, and the emergence of a new champion to wield the sword of Martin.
The Redwall adventures just keep getting bigger and bigger!

Redwall Abbey is a quasi-medieval fantasy setting, in which the inhabitants are peace-loving mice and other small animals, who seek adventure and fend off endless attacks by evil foxes, rats and weasels. These epic tales of good triumphing over evil are told in flowing prose and simply structured stories that bring to life Redwall and its surrounding Mossflower countryside.
The heroic characters are ones the reader not only becomes fond of, but also learns to love and admire, as they uphold the Abbey's mission to keep the world peace and ordered. This imagined world of domestic detail and created mythology has captured the hearts of many children and made them readers for life.
Note: As is most popular, the books in this series are chronologically ordered according to 'Redwall' history, rather than by date of publication.
