This was the first Brian Jacques book I ever read, pointed out to me by my mother in the library. At first I put off reading it because I thought "A book about MICE?!?! How ridiculous!" but when I finally did sit down to read it, I was hooked from the first page. The characters are all so believable, and it is so easy to relate to them! The Bellmaker follows a very definite Brian Jacqes style... Some friends are gained, some are lost... there's a great adventure, and, of course, there's a BIG feast at the end!!
A brilliant read, with a good reason to cry at the end!
