The author of the REDWALL series, without which it is difficult to imagine my childhood, had a heart attack over the weekend. He was 71.
My top 5 REDWALL series books:
5. THE BELLMAKER
4. MARIEL OF REDWALL
3. MATTIMEO
2. REDWALL
1. MARTIN THE WARRIOR

Oh no! I read all of those books constantly. What a storyteller.
So this is interesting, because my list would probably be
5. SALAMANDASTRON
4. MARIEL OF REDWALL
3. MATTIMEO
2. REDWALL
1. MOSSFLOWER
So I think that one important reason I like MOSSFLOWER the best is because it's the first one I read, but even besides that I find it interesting that my #1 isn't on your list, and your #1 isn't on mine.
How many of them have you read? I quit after THE LEGEND OF LUKE, which puts me at 57%.
Elizabeth: MARLFOX was the last one I read and I don't really remember it that clearly, so I'm just behind you in totals. Oddly, I don't really have a desire to go back and read the ones I missed in the later years, but I would love to reread the ones I spent the most time with. MOSSFLOWER and MATTIMEO were the first ones we owned; I think MOSSFLOWER was Claire's favorite too.
