Redwall

Redwall is a series of fantasy novels by Brian Jacques, the first of which was released in 1986. The books are primarily aimed at children, but have fans of all ages. There is an animated TV series based on the books, the first season of which was released in 1999. It was later followed by two more seasons, based on the books "Mattimeo" and "Martin the Warrior". Production for that series is assumed to be finished, but if there is a fourth season, it will likely be based on "Mossflower".

The book series does not chronicle any one particular timeframe. Rather, it's set in many different periods in the history of Redwall Abbey. Some of the books focus on characters who,, in other volumes, are historical figures (e.g., Martin the Warrior's father, Luke, in The Legend of Luke). Typically, those books are set before the founding of Redwall Abbey. Brian Jacques doesn't worry about writing prequels -- he's done many books out of chronological order. The newest Redwall novel, the High Rhulain, is due to come out in September 2005.
