Publisher's summary

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

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.

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!

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!

Lovely book

I had fond memories of reading this as a child. I quite enjoyed listening to this with my son, and reliving the first read through from his eyes.
