This is the second time I have read 'Mattimeo'. It is a wonderful book and only one of the many books in the Redwall series for children but read by all ages: written by the brilliant late Brian Jacques. I love these magical books. They fascinate me. The Redwall characters, a mix of many animals who live together in harmony, goodwill and peace (when the 'baddies' will let them) are nevertheless always ready to defend their Abbey and lifestyle against those bent on eliminating them from the youngest to the oldest creature. There is so much in these books to teach children on a deeper level too.
The theme as always is the triumph of good over evil. In this book evil is in the form of the wicked fox Slagar and his equally unpleasant but often dim witted followers. Slagar has a score to settle with the Redwallers and is out for revenge in retaliation for the death of his evil mother, an alleged healer and facial injuries to himself in an earlier book. His plan is to steal the youngsters of Redwall and sell them to slavers. The book is full of exciting adventures and as with every Redwall book has enchanted me all over again.Go on give it a try!

Loved all of these books written by the late Brian Jacques and bought years ago every time a new one came out. I re-read them now and again and recently began 'Outcast of Redwall' about Sunflash the Badger. Thank you for liking Pirate Steve.
