Brian Jacques, bestselling author of the Redwall series, died from a heart attack at the age of 71. His obituary was published last week in the UK Telegraph.

The Redwall series is populated by anthropomorphic animals living in Redwall Abbey and the surrounding Mossflower countryside. Jacques began the series in 1986 with Redwall and continued charming his readers with twenty additional Redwall stories.

Mr. Jacques offered this enticement to his readers, “In our imaginations we can go anywhere. Travel with me to Redwall in Mossflower country.” Check out a Redwall story in his memory.
