Always enjoy Redwall c:

An utterly endearing and enchanting tale! The illustrations bring it to life in such a beautiful way!

A truly delightful story by Brian Jacques, enchantingly enhanced by Christopher Denise's beautiful illustrations. I especially enjoyed the rhyming verse scattered throughout A Redwall Winter's Tale.
One Autumn night (actually, Autumn's final night) in Redwall Abbey, after enjoying an exciting evening of entertainment performed by the Traveling Thistledown Troupe and devouring a grand feast, Mighty Bulbrock Badger tells the Abbey's little children a bedtime story about the legend of the Snow Badger. I'd never read any of Brian Jacques' Redwall saga, but definitely intend to in the future.

I just read this book for fun, knowing it was for younger people. But i loved the beautiful pictures and cute simple story. I definitely recommend it for any age, so very simple and sweat!

Since having read some books in this series recently, I was glad to see some familiar faces and was also glad to see that the fun in the story captivated me as always. This was an interesting take on the Redwall narrative in that it's not part of the overall plot, but more a side tale within the story. I liked this because the characters were wonderful and the dialogue was excellent. I liked this book for what it was, an enjoyment to be had by all ages.

Brian Jacques, with his series of "Redwall" books, wrote about good triumphing over evil, with peaceful mice, badgers, voles, hares, moles, otters and squirrels defeating rats, weasels, ferrets, snakes and stoats. The books largely ignore humans and focus on the animal world - but do not shy away from harsh realities of nature.

A Redwall Winter's Tale is shorter than his usual 350-page works, at 71 pages, and is more of a picture book for younger readers. Beautifully illustrated by Christopher Denise, it shares a poem about the changing seasons and the preparation for celebrating winter, while also describing in narrative form the events around Redwall Abbey as the animals gather to enjoy "Autumn's Final Day." Key to the tale is the coming of Snow Badger, the Lord of Wintertide who, with his Snow Hare, works similar to Jack Frost in covering the land with snow and ice.

"A Redwall Winter's Tale" doesn't just describe the events at the Abbey, and the Snow Badger; it gives you the taste of the feast, the sounds of the choir, the smell of the leaves - and the importance of the changing of the seasons. You're left with a feeling of how critical winter is, to allow all to sleep and revive in time to offer their best for spring. Beautiful, chock full of animals...just flawless.

Love love this series!!

I bought this in Poundland as the cover illustration of a badger caught my eye - you can probably tell from my username that I'm a touch obsessed with badgers!

What a treat this book is - beautiful colour illustrations and a timeless tale of native British animals preparing for winter with a feast and strolling players. The Snow Badger brings the winter weather, but not everyone believes in him, until one lucky little mole gets a big surprise.

I'd never heard of the Redwall books before, but you don't need to know anything about them to be able to read and enjoy this book.

I think this book will become part of my traditional Christmas reading.

Wonderful story!

Ending the year with a return to a familiar and perfect dream.

I’ve always loved the Redwall books. This short tale was no exception, and the illustrations were super cute. Now I’m just hoping it magically snows overnight!

I love this little story, but it is a super hard read for an early reader. Words like traversed and haste and bide. Some of it is in rhyme and has ‘‘tis and y’know and t’your. It lends itself to be a beautiful story when read aloud. Early readers will struggle reading independently with words like Hypericum Hadduck Hare. I do love happy lines like “I’m Crochet! I’m Quaver! I’m queenie! the Three Melodious Mice.” I feel the story just leads to being read to a group with lots of theatre
