guys I had this realization the other day that Redwall works really well for reading aloud, and kinda half-remembered something about the author reading to kids? So I looked it up to see if I had made a connection.

And it turns out, yes, actually, because he read aloud to kids at a school for the blind. But all the books they gave him to read were depressing. So he wrote Redwall, a story about heroism and courage and making it through struggles, and filled it with so many sensory, visual details so he could give them something better and I just-- that's so wholesome-- help

#my theory is that all good childrens books are written with LOVE #and he clearly loved these kids #anyway I got kind of emotional at that #as someone who read Redwall as a kid and was inspired to be brave #also I left this in my drafts for a while oops #but yeah I have feelings #redwall #brian jacques #reading #scribe rambles

People have different levels of tolerance for it, but wondering if there was there ever a long passage in the books describing some meal where you just went to yourself, "OK George, we get it and can we just move it along."

Well, I grew up on the food porn in Redwall novels, which Brian Jacques wrote as essentially a tone poem for blind children that he was reading to in hospital. So I have an unusually high tolerance for it, so I’ve never had a problem with it.
