User blog comment:Robinfeather/Essay: How large is Redwall Abbey?/@comment-1630956-20100118024541

The size of the Redwall Creatures is an unknown. Some things could be scaled down for small animals. (cooking, for example) But other things are impossible for small animals. Example: In Mattimeo Orlando takes his axe and cuts down a tree to make a raft and in other books trees were used as battering rams. So for some things the Redwallers could be small, an for other things they would have to be human size. My point is that the Redwallers might be the same size as humans. (which would make more sense in most situations in my opinion)

Another thing that might help on the ratio of Badgers-to-mice. In Taggerung, Russano is twice as tall as anyone present, including Tagg/Deyna. Nimbalo, who is a mouse, rides on Tagg's shoulders many times in the book, giving you the impression that he is small enough to do this with no problem on Deyna's part. So Nimbalo may only come up to Deyna's thigh, which would make him maybe 1/4 the size of Russano.

I don't know why I said half the stuff in this comment but i hope that it will help in any revisons of the essay.
