In honor of Brian Jacques' passing, I'm posting a few of the covers from his wonderful REDWALL series of books for young and old. Most of the books are illustrated by Pete Lyon and Eric Chalk though Brian Jacques had a hand in the designing of the covers and had approval of all sketches. Author Jacques was a visionary who created a world onto itself. A world that, fortunately, we can continue to visit whenever we like. The creator of Redwall Abbey is gone now, but the stories will live forever.

I was really sorry to hear of Mr. Jacques' death. My daughters read all of the Redwall series several years ago and still have them on their bookshelves ready to be passed on to their own children someday.
ReplyDeleteI have three copies from the Redwall series on my shelves, Pam. I first read REDWALL as an adult and loved it. I'm going to save some of these books for my granddaughter. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a Redwall book somewhere though I have never read it. I must dig it out and get on with it. Thnak you for the prompt.
