A party for the ears! This is a swashbuckling adventure full of pygmy shrew tribes, valiant mouse warriors, and noble squirrels bent on revenge. The prequel to the Audie Award-winning REDWALL has as its hero its own Martin the Warrior. This is the story of that Martin's father. Imprisoned from childhood at Marshank, a seaside fortress run by that evil stoat Badrang, Martin escapes and sets out to free all the slaves and reclaim his father's sword. Your mind's eye will spin out a full-color motion picture as you listen to these colorfully voiced characters sing, dance, fight, feast and escape countless perils. Chances are good you'll never be able to look at a mouse the same way again. M.C. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Starred review from February 7, 1994
The brilliantly complex sixth installment in the Redwall fantasy-adventure series freshens up the notion of swashbuckling by honoring courage of a nonviolent sort. Young mousemaid Rose and her mole companion Grumm have traveled far from Noonvale to rescue Rose's brother Brome from slavery in the evil fortress Marshank, ruled by the tyrant stoat Badrang. Martin, the warrior mouse, himself enslaved at Marshank for most of his young life, teams up with Rose and other peace-loving creatures to end Badrang's tyranny. Studded with vibrant and distinct animal characters, Jacques's classically inspired ``in-another-part-of-the-forest . . . '' plot-weaving achieves virtuosity as moments of sensitivity shake his fierce heroes off their warrior paths. A female character emerges as the story's guiding star; outshining even Martin, she vanquishes foes with her beautiful singing and with reason. An excellent adventure with an enlightened conscience. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 10-14.
