And we're off.

As mentioned previously, we're planning to discuss the "first" eight books in the Redwall series in this next season of the Krickcast. Up first is Redwall (1986).

Kathryn complains about Brian Jacques' beginning in the middle of a trilogy. Brick reveals his interests in material book history by discussing different editions and illustrations. We both get briefly sidetracked into talking about feudalism.

The discussed illustrations for the Redwall novel were created by Gary Chalk.
