Doomwyte, a Tale From Redwall by Brian Jacques

5.0

I love the Redwall series. It's always fun to dip into the Mossflower Woods and spend some time with the mice, shrews, hares and otters of the Redwall Abbey, and to read some exciting battle scenes with the "vermin" characters of rats, snakes, ravens, and so forth. I listened to this full cast audio recording and boy was it entertaining. The author narrates, in his loovly Liverpudlian accent, and the actors who play all the parts all have the right accents for the moles and other animals. Plus there are songs sung, which really adds to the character. In this volume, Redwall mouse Bisky and squirrel Dwink get caught up in a quest for rubies and emeralds (the stolen eyes of the Doomwyte statue), while the evil Korvus Skurr, raven leader of the Wytes gang, also seeks the gems--and he's got a giant nasty serpent to help him!
