One of the World's Best Storytellers- Brian Jacques

As you may or may not know, Brian Jacques was a British author. He wrote the Redwall series, the Castaways of the Flying Dutchmen series, the Tales of Urso Brunov, 7 Strange and Ghostly Tales, and other assorted childrens' novels. He first wrote Redwall for blind children. That's why it's so descriptive.
Brian Jacques has been many things besides just an author. He's been a sailor, a band-member, a radioshow host, railway fireman, a longshoreman, a long-distance truck driver, a bus driver, a boxer, a bobby (Police Constable 216D), a postmaster, and a stand-up comic.

I personally loved Redwall; I picked it up in 3rd grade. It begins with the tale of a bumbling young mouse who finds his true calling. The series is set in Mossflower Woods where small creatures work and live in general peace. In all of the novels, either some evil vermin comes to attack Redwall, or the Redwallers go out on quests to defeat evil. It's not repetitive. The 22nd book (The Rogue Crew) is coming out this May.

Castaways of the Flying Dutchmen. It's about a boy and his dog, destined to live forever and help those in need. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! Unfortunately, only three books were written.
But, sadly, Brian Jacques died on February 5th at age 71. He died of cardiac complications in the Liverpool hospital. I wanted to write this because it's important to me, and I want to remember. Pick up a Brian Jacques book today and read it.





UPDATE: Oh my goodness. I felt slightly bad not being at all humorous, so here's something that'll make you laugh. Also in Britain. ;)
