For those of us who love proper children's adventure stories, Brain Jacques' Redwall series has been wonderful. Mr. Jacques came to the U.S. several times on book signing tours to meet his adoring fans fom across the pond, and I even have a wonderful photo of my son with his arm draped around his shoulder. My library's Young Adult Advisory Board even once held a Redwall Picnic based on his recipes!
Mr. Jacques, I know many parents have told you this already, but one last time from me, thank you. The world you created and the books you wrote are wonderful and we thank you for sharing it with us.
