Martin the Warrior

Our rating: ****

The story of Martin’s childhood of slavery, and his struggles to free his fellow slaves from the tyrant stoat, Badrang. With the help of Laterose the mousemaid, Grumm the mole, the Rambling Rosehip Players led by the hare, Ballaw De Quincewold, and others, Martin begins an epic battle for freedom.

I must explain that I only gave this book four stars because it has several sad parts. However, it has plenty of action and plenty of funny characters. The pigmy shrews are absolutely hilarious, and of course, where there’s a hare, there will be laughter. A most enjoyable book.

  1. I don’t cry easy over books, but this one almost had me.


  2. It is very sad, but I think it’s one of the best Redwall books.


  3. I am obligated to argee with Ruth. I usually don’t cry either, but when Rose was slain I was brought to tears


  4. I liked the Rambling Rosehip Players. I think this is the first time a traveling group of players is in a Redwall book.
