Superb story and narration
The late, great Brian Jacques is my favorite author, and this particular entry in the Redwall series is arguably the best of them all. Telling the origins of the legendary Martin the Warrior, it is a thrilling tale of heroism, love, and sacrifice. Jacques had his own radio show on BBC Merseyside, and with his connections there was able to assemble a full cast to create the best audio books possible for his works. Already a fan of the novels themselves, I remember the thrill of finding and buying this as a tape set in the local bookstore when I was a child. It was the first of Redwall story I'd heard as an audio book, and I listened to it all the time. It completely captivated me. The experience is that of a movie without visuals, each character fully brought to life by talented actors including the author, a master storyteller. I would very highly recommend this audio book. It will always have a special place in my heart.
