One night of cowering under the covers in a dark room willing my flashlight not to give out was all it took. For this, I credit my dad's Stephen King collection-which I probably shouldn't really have been reading, but I've always been pretty mature for my age. And while you might find this hard to swallow, the truth of the matter is, I'd already silently declared myself a reader of adult books. If the first book was released in '86, that means I was somewhere between the second half of 5th grade and the first half of 6th grade (so, 10 or 11 years old). I'm not sure how I missed all of that, but I managed it. There has also been a Redwall television series (1999) and even an opera based on the first book in the series. But, not only is it a popular book series, there are also a bunch of adaptations that include about 10 "related" books that like The Great Redwall Feast, The Redwall Graphic Novel, and The Redwall Cookbook (which I just checked out from the library). I very well may be the last person to hear of this series of 23 children's fantasty novels written by Brian Jacques, and first released in 1986. Hey, hey, it's #RedwallAugust! 's what now?
