Brought to you by Puffin.

The third book in the beloved, bestselling Redwall saga - soon to be a major Netflix movie!

Slagar the Fox is bent on revenge - and determined to bring death and destruction to Redwall. Gathering his evil band around him, Slagar plots to strike at the heart of the Abbey. His cunning and cowardly plan is to steal the Redwall children - and Mattimeo, Matthias's son, is to be the biggest prize of all . . .

Wonderments

I have listened to more audiobooks than I care to mention. Thom Ashley is the only narrator I have cause to complain about. Basil Stag Hare should have been the easiest character to voice. Classic Brititsh Army "what what tallyho" required. Either by poor research, or worse - an ideologically charged visceral hatred of anything to do with Imperial age culture, he creat his own version of what he thinks will work - it absolutely does not.

The previous Redwall audiobooks had perfectly good narrators. Somewhat of a shame for Penguin to allow such a poor narrator to ruin such a great story

Great story, appalling narration

With a sadly terrible narrator. how do you get Basil Stag Hare's voice so utterly wrong, most of the voices of the characters are clearly laid out by how they're written yet this narrator tries to change them drastically whilst also being bound to read them as written, it's incredibly jarring.

the best Redwall book so far

Quite honestly I have no idea how Puffin managed to ruin such a great story considering books 1 and 2 were well narrated, but they do. The narration mispronounced several English words e.g. "poultice", and names e.g. "Methusaleh",, the cadence is all over the place with sentences broken up oddly, and half the accents are terrible. Accents are so important to Redwall, and this was such a letdown. I have no idea how the narrator got through this book since half the time he sounds bored out of his mind. A real let down considering how much nostalgia this story holds for me.

Lovely story awful narration
