Neat! It was some family friends from Texas who got me and my family into the series. It started when they were visiting us from out of state. When they left, they gave us three books as a token of their gratitude for letting them stay with us. My family received a copy of "Redwall", "Triss, and "Loamhedge". I remember my mom insisted on reading the book out loud to me. That was the first time I ever read the books, but the first time I saw one of the Redwall books was when I was in elementary school. I, being a young bookworm, was making a routine trip to the library and was looking for a good book when my librarian/bus driver recommended a book to me by the name of "Lord Brocktree". I picked it up and started it, but never finished it, seeing as how I was pretty young at the time. However, I do remember a badger with a sword that saved this funny talking female hare.
