Penguin has officially revealed Redwall: The Collector's Edition, a special hardcover release for the 40th anniversary of the publication of Redwall by Brian Jacques, scheduled for October 2026! The book will feature a green binding, like the UK 10th anniversary edition and the Mossflower Collector's Edition, centered by Troy Howell's cover artwork of Matthias that was created for the 20th anniversary edition of Redwall. This is the first new U.S. hardcover edition since that 2007 release.
However what's clearly different here is the foil stamps and golden page edges. But wait, there's more! Here's how Penguin is describing Redwall: The Collector's Edition:
With a gorgeous package, bonus never-before-seen content, and the original tale that started it all, this collector's edition is a must-have for all Redwall fans! A perfect gift!
For decades, Redwall has held a special place in readers' hearts. Bucolic countryside and friendly forest creatures come up against evil, violent foes in an epic tale that’s stood the test of time. The Redwall saga is an enduring classic, one that has captured our imagination for generations.
Now relive the glory of battle, the delightful feasts, and the pure courage of one little mouse with this stunning collector's edition. Come back to where it all began with the first Redwall tale, read about the history of the series in a new foreword from longtime series editor Patti Gauch, and explore the world of Redwall through gems from Redwall's storied past. All in a beautiful package worthy of this series, with a cloth-bound, foil-stamped cover, gilded edges, and more -- a package fit for the classic tale this is.
For all Redwall fans, young and young at heart, this collector's edition is not to be missed.
The 384-page Redwall: The Collector's Edition hardcover is scheduled for release on October 13, 2026, in the U.S. with a $28.99 price tag, and we can't wait. You can pre-order it on Amazon right now! Astute Redwall Wiki readers may recall that we interviewed editor Patti Lee Gauch back in 2022, which you can find here.
And as a reminder, this isn't the only new Redwall hardcover coming this year, UK readers are also anticipating one from Inkstone Books. Let's keep the celebration going!
