@Bluestripe:

14. You have to admit it is kind of sketchy. Hence its place on the list.

18. The fact that Humans were retconned from the world of Redwall is part of what gives the series its charm, but it unfortunately means that the presence of the cart (not to mention the horse, bridle etc.) no longer has a rational explanation. You can hardly hold Redwall up to a different plotline and setting than its pre and post-decessors, after all. I suspect this particular point is going to remain a plot hole indefinitely.
