Product Description

Product Description

Young Tiria Wildlough is an otter maid touched by the paw of Destiny. Her tale is an epic adventure which takes her from Redwall Abbey, across the wild Western sea to the mysterious Green Isle. There she will fulfil an ancient prophesy and gain her inheritance. Green Isle is the home of the Otterclans but they are beset by dangers from the Wildcat Riggu Felis and his catguard slave masters. Aided by two birds and a platoon of Long patrol hares, Tiria joins forces with the outlaw Leatho Shellhound and his Otterclan. This is a tale in the true tradition of the Redwall saga. Feasting and fighting, solving riddles from a forgotten volume, and questing in search of her title, Tiria strives to become High Rhulain!


About the Author

Brian Jacques - actor, playwright and BBC presenter - was first brought to the attention of children with the publication of Redwall, the first volume in his epic. Before he began writing for children, his life was as full of adventure as the stories he creates - at the age of fifteen he went to sea and travelled the world, before returning to his home town of Liverpool in England, where he still lives.

2.0 out of 5 stars One to miss....stick to the older installments in the series, 11 Feb 2007
Fans of Brian Jacques will have noticed a worrying trend in his series. In the beginning books such as Mossflower, Redwall and Outcasts of Redwall were about a small band of creatures fighting of an imperialist presence that had colonised their land. The founding fathers of Redwall strove to establish a state based on peaceful amendments and I feel they would have been truly shocked at this latest offering. In High Rhulain, Redwall Abbey having no need to defend its own borders plays its hand at colonisation. Its pretext is that the inhabitants of the Green Isle are under an evil dictator and must be freed; an otter by the way receives this information in a dream. It is the moral thing to do. Of course they cannot go it alone unilaterally, they need backing from a bunch of stiff upper lip hares who are a lot more experienced in colonialist warfare. The hare's of Salamandastrom serve as useful yes men who eager at the chance of any battle quickly take up arms and go ahead and do battle with the wildcats and liberate the otter slaves. Once liberated the slaves are then governed by a puppet dictator from Redwall and the story ends. Whilst admittedly the aims of the war are laudable this time, the way the series is going one gets the feelings that the way the next book will feature Redwall Abbey going to war for forestry or fishing rights.

This, the latest offering is I am sad to say also the poorest one, or perhaps it is that I'm just getting older. But there no longer seem to be any big battles in the Redwall series and there is no character ambiguity. In Mossflower one of the heroes is a kleptomaniac, Outcast of Redwall (my personal favourite) has a rat who is almost evil but redeems himself at the end paying the ultimate price. High Rhulain has none of these ambiguities, all the animals fit into the stereotypes given to them. An unfortunate feature that has plagued the last few Redwall books is the absence of likeable characters and this instalment proves no exception. All in all, this book just serves for a longing for the series to return to its original form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Tale, 11 April 2007
I have read this, and have just finished listening to the full version on CD,I was really sorry when the end came,a truly absorbing and exciting read but the CD version with all the songs brought to life is truly inspiring.Brian Jacques is a wonderful story teller his books are superior to most books written for adults (I am sixty years of age by the way) and have been an avid reader since age 6 so have had much experience !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Scope for the Imagination, 29 Aug 2006
This is the only book I have read in the Redwall series by Brian Jacques, and I must admit I was slightly dubious about reading it as it struck me as the type of book which would appeal to boys. However, I was nicely surprised to find the herione was indeed a girl - something which you do not find much.

Jacques has created a world full of imagination and wonder. What would it be like if otters, rats and hedgehogs could talk to each other and live in their own village? Look no further - these animals are portrayed beautifully and simply in this very novel. Non-fiction and gems of truth are woven together beautifully in this action-packed novel - a feat which is hard to produce.

Boys and girls alike will love this book. If you are in two-minds whether to read it, I would strongly advise you to - you won't regret it!
