Redwall (Der Sturm auf die Abtei), Mossflower (In den Fängen der Wildkatze), and Mattimeo (die Rache des Fuchses) are receiving new German translations with some stunning cover artwork by Chris Dunn!
"Redwall made a big impression on me when I was a child so I feel equal amounts of excitement and pressure when trying to create covers that capture the spirit of each story that hopefully pull in new readers," Dunn told the Redwall Wiki.
German publisher Cross-Cult will be re-issuing Redwall and Mossflower later in 2022, in October and December, while Mattimeo will be released in March 2023.
And these aren't the only Redwall covers Dunn will be illustrating - he'll be providing artwork for all 22 novels in the series!
"It's one of those dream jobs ..." Dunn later added on Twitter. "I grew up reading the books and drooling over the artwork, wondering if I could paint book covers when I grew up. Now here I am, re-reading all the books and doing my best to depict a scene taken from the story for each cover."
The new books appear to be hardcovers. We're certainly looking forward to these! See here for a look at the previous German editions.
Dunn exclusively provided the Redwall Wiki with the covers without text.
