He died on February 5 this year. He was born on June 15,1939. He died because of a heart attack.

I was so sad to hear he had died … I was always hoping he’d do one more book with Mariel and Dandin … The Redwall series one of my favorites for sentimental reasons (one of the first books I read that were over 400 pages, one of the series that got me into fantasy/medieval settings, etc.)

Anyone read “The Rogue Crew” yet? When I saw it in the “new books” section of the library … it hit me that this is THE last Redwall book Brian Jacques ever wrote. I haven’t borrowed it yet … I almost don’t want to, because it will be over. Weird, I know … have any of you felt that way?

Another thing I’ll miss is the Redwall audiobooks being narrated by Mr. Jacques. I HIGHLY recommend listening to them if you get the chance (borrow them from the library or something) because it is pretty much a full cast, with Mr. Jacques narrating and it has music as well.

Oh wow, really? Thanks for letting us know. I really hope that’s the case …
