Loved the books as a kid, collected them all up to... erm, the one with the grey foxes. Marlfox. Then I kinda outgrew them, but christ alive did I read those books to death.

Post by: Titan on February 09, 2011, 10:00:54 am: I read those books for obvious reasons. :P

After a while though I noticed they were all sortof the same...

Still, enjoyed them for a time. So this kindof sucks..

I keep getting ideas for exactly this only to have them repeatedly squashed by "Oh yeah, I don't have movie rights. ****."

Post by: Ravenholme on February 11, 2011, 12:52:27 am: Really sad to see him pass away, I've still got shelves filled with his books from when I was younger, they were a great read (I read The Long Patrol first, and ye gods, I still have fond memories of it). My thoughts are with his wife and sons at the moment.

All I can say is -

Eulalia! Give 'em blood and vinegar!

Post by: Solatar on February 11, 2011, 08:39:20 am: Just saw this thread; that's too bad...I was crazy into his books.

When we had a playground "brawl" in the 4th grade (threw acorns at one another) his books inspired me to use crude military tactics to win against the superior force. :D

A Redwall MOD would kick ass.
