Requiescat in pace, Brian Redwall, whom this afternoon the BBC is reporting died, at age 71, of a heart attack.
I was never able to get into talking animals in any series — I was pretty much not even a fan of the Orwell talking animals — but I know TONS of people love, love, LOVE the Redwall books, so for those of you in that bunch, have a cookie, we love you.
Oh, how sad! I remember reading the first book and really enjoying it, though I couldn't really get into further installments of the series.
