To keep it in short, Jacques would take walks with his dog, and in his neighborhood, he saw the “red walls.” Other inspirations come from dreams and simple ideas like those. Jacques has worked many previous jobs including a truck driver, playwright, radio talk show host and many more. Brian Jacques was born in Liverpool England, and can be seen in the book very well, as googling Liverpool tourism does bring up some old timey stuff, and is sometimes known as a city of culture. Brian Jacques has written a few books other than the redwall series including; Seven strange and Ghostly Tales, The Angel’s Command, and The Ribbajack & Other Curious Yarns. Finally, a lot of the stories that take place within Redwall were actually stories lived by his friends and family. Our protagonist this time around is Matthias, and he is a mouse in Redwall who wants to be a warrior. Matthias seems to be very young as he literally is revealed to be young (no age given though) and one mouse once said in the book that he has a brain and can use it! (along those lines). Matthias’ role in Redwall, is that he is a commander in the Redwall Military. Matthias is the way he is as he is an orphan taken care of the Abbot. Matthias is a great warrior, as it is revealed later in the story, but his wits always are his weakness, as again he is young. The antagonist, or bad guy if you will, in this novel is Cluny the Scourge. Cluny is the leader of an army of rats, who is out to kill the people of Redwall. Matthias comes into play, as he knows of Cluny coming. Matthias ends up fighting Cluny a few times. Cluny is known for being the evilist rat out there. Cluny is not actually only against Matthias, but again, the people of Redwall. Cluny has a poisonous barb on his tail that he uses tremendously to fight, but he’s weakened, as one eye is blind. One more character that is important to the story is Methuselah. Methuselah is an important character, as he takes interest in Matthias and helps him on his journey. Methuselah helps Matthias on his journey by helping him to find the sword of Martin the Warrior. He spends time learning other animal’s languages, which helps for the other creatures of Redwall. Redwall seems to go by seasons, and not years, which is very unique in my opinion. Otherwise, it seems to be very dependent on walls and swords instead of what we have been using in the last 200, years or so, so it’s safe to give a general idea of “back then.” Like said earlier, Redwall goes by seasons, and a few seasons go by in the book, so the area changes. About a year passes (again, not usually do they describe what season it is) in total in the novel. Some people in Redwall will reference a season, occasionally. First of all, the only area that Redwall says it takes place in is “Mossflower.” Otherwise, it’s not referenced anywhere else, as far as I remember. The book’s locations are all neatly put in a map. The places there include; the main gate into the Redwall fortress, the meadow(s), Mossflower woods, St.
