Unabridged. 8 tapes, 10 hours 43 minutes. Performed by a cast of players including Brian Jacques

 

"When Redwall was published in 1987 it catapulted author Brian Jacques to international stardom. And small wonder! This enthralling tale is jam-packed with the things we long for in a great adventure: danger, laughter, hairbreadth escapes, tragedy, mystery, a touch of wonder, a truly dispicable villain, and a hero we can take to heart."

 

"That hero is Matthias, a young mouse who must rise above his fears and failures to save his friends at Redwall Abbey. The villain is Cluny the Scourge, one of the most deliciously despicable rats of all time. The unforgettable cast of supporting characters includes the stalwart badger Constance, the irrepressible Basil Stag Hare, and the elderly wisemouse Brother Methuselah."

 

"But most of all there is Matthias, seeking his true destiny in a journey that will lead through danger and despair to true wisdom"

 

"Fans of Jacques's Redwall book series will rejoice at this stirring recording of Matthias the mouse's adventures and exploits." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
