If you like squirrels and enjoy Brian putting in female as well as male warriors as much as I do this one sounds like a hit.
And Loamhedge:
Multiply the number of years it takes a stone
to grow old by a thousand, and the name of Loamhedge is still spoken of
at Redwall Abbey. The first mice, led by Abbess Germaine, fled the great
sickness of Loamhedge to wander through Mossflower. There it was that they
met Martin the Warrior and the Corim friends. Together they helped build
Redwall Abbey.
Most of Loamhedge was destroyed at the climax
of "Mattimeo."But still its mysteries lay hidden. What secrets of ancient
wisdom were buried there?
Loamhedge is the story of how Redwallers went
on a quest to find these answers. A young haremaid has spent her life in
a home made wheelchair, unable to walk.
Ancient riddles were solved by wise creatures.
The answer is to be found only at Loamhedge.
Meet two ex Dibbuns, now grown old.
Saragando the otter and his companion Bragoon
the squirrel. Heading a small party they set out on a journey-facing fur
raising perils and rousing adventures.
Meanwhile at the Abbey, a bumbling vermin crew
have come, seeking what they have been told is a magic sword.
My pen carries on writing, but my lips are sealed. I can tell you no more.
Could this come after Mattimeo and before Lutra? In this book, could
Rollo be between his recorder years and Dibbun years? is Tansy a Dibbun?
is the vermin band Slagar's ( he did mention that the sword was magic early
on)? Only time will tell.
