About this title

Review:

As Ferrett Swartt Sixclaw and his arch enemy Sunflash the Mace swear a pledge of death upon each other, a young creature is cruelly banished from the safety of Redwall. As he grows, he seeks revenge on the people of Redwall and finds himself embroiled in a bitter battle that has far reaching consequences.

An epic Tale of Redwall from the pen of master storyteller Brian Jacques, Outcast of Redwall is a kaleidoscope of colour, range and emotions that culminates in a bitter battle between good and evil. None of the passion of the previous Redwall titles is lost as some of the most cherished landscapes and best loved characters from previous books are revisited, bringing with them a wisdom and clarity that has developed and endured.

On a basic level, this is a cracking fantasy adventure story. Look deeper and you will find that this, along with the other titles in the series, has a divine, enduring quality that ranks it among he best in children's literature. --Susan Harrison
