About the Author

Brian Jacques was both a master storyteller and a jack-of-all-trades. He lived the life of a sailor, actor, stand-up comedian, radio host, bobby, even a bus driver. He was the recipient of an honorary doctorate in literature from the University of Liverpool and a New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty-five books for younger readers, including the wildly popular Redwall series. Dr. Jacques was a lifelong resident of Liverpool, England.

Reviews

“Lord Brocktree is a thriller. The pace is like all of Jacques’ books, as fast as the slingshots and double-edged swords.” —The Deseret News (Salt Lake City, UT)“The Medieval world of Redwall Abbey—where gallant mouse warriors triumph over evil invaders—has truly become the stuff of legend.” —Seattle Post-Intelligencer“Great reading…entertaining. Classic confrontations between good and evil will never go out of style.” —The Orlando Sentinel“Jacques’ effortless, fast-paced narrative gets its readers quickly hooked. He clearly loves this other world he has created—there’s a genuine sense of involvement and care (lots of lovingly descriptive passages), as well as an overflowing, driving imagination.” —Birmingham Post“Completely drawn and full of surprises as the complex subplots. [Jacques] is an old-fashioned storyteller. His tale is layered and detailed—and it twists as tightly as the winding corridors and hidden passages of Salamandastron, until readers are completely immersed in his world.” —The Cincinnati Enquirer“The Knights of the Round Table with paws.” —Sunday Times (London)
