 A Bally Great Book wot wot November 26, 2008
Mad Maudie along with Orkwil Prink, Rangval the Rogue, and Gorath the Flame unite to together rid the world of the evil Gruntan Kurdly and Vizka Longtooth. A great book of dashing and debonair deeds accomplished by all the "good guys." The book also was hysterically funny with codj's foolishness, Rangvarl's also woefull want for food, Gruntan Kurdly's craving for hardboiled eggs and the antics of Mad Maudie. Altogether, A bloomin great book wot wot
Like Always a Good Read From Mr Jacques October 30, 2008
I always enjoy the Redwall books by Mr. Jacques. I especially enjoy those on the badgers. I highly recommend this book to all those fans of Redwall and those who are looking to dive into a good read that will take them away from the stress of normal life and enjoy a moment away from your worries.
Brian Jacques again creates the fresh, unforgettable characters who abound in the world of Redwall August 19, 2008
"Who will defend Redwall Abbey,
in its days of peril and strife?
The beast who shuns both armour and sword,
Torn from the simple life.
He with destiny marked on his brow,
Who walks with the banished one.
Send forth a maid to seek out the Flame,
To rule when the old Lord is gone!"
Mad Maudie
Assistant cook Mad Maudie (the Hon.) Mugsberry Thropple has been asked to go on a mission. Not only is this an important mission because the great Badger Lord Asheye of Salamandastron has asked her, but it is her last chance to redeem herself and stay in good membership with the famous Long Patrol. Despite the warnings of terrible danger, the young haremaid is more than happy to seek out a giant badger named Gorath. After all, how hard can it be? Little does she know the perils that await her and the great adventures she will encounter as she plunges into battle with the Salamandastron war cry "Eulalia-a-a-a-a-a-!".
Gorath
Afflicted with the "Bloodwrath," Gorath, a giant badger, is scarred across his forehead (Gorath the Flame) from a vicious beating by the evil pirate captain Vizka Longtooth. Gorath is bent on avenging his grandparents' deaths and saving Redwall Abbey, but he does not understand that he has been chosen by Lord Asheye to succeed him at Salamandastron. It is not until he meets the fair Salixa that he is able to see a different future for himself and the friends he has met on his journey to Redwall.
Vizka Longtooth
A handsome golden fox and Captain of the ship Bludgullet, the sly, quick-talking Vizka Longtooth creates fear and death wherever he goes. He captures the giant badger and practically kills him. When he discovers the Badger's "Bloodwrath," he decides to use it for his own purposes in his quest to conquer Redwall Abbey.
Gruntan Kurdly
The warlord Gruntan Kurdly, a brownrat of great height and girth with a "mind that was teetering on the brink of madness," loves his hard-boiled eggs and being pampered. In fact, his physical comfort is so important that he wears down his crew as they carry him from place to place and try to meet his demands. Though Kurdly proves no match in leadership to Longtooth, he and his wildly painted crew manage to create plenty of trouble for the defenders of Redwall.
Rangval the Rogue
This overactive squirrel travels with Maudie as he offers his services while she looks for Gorath. He is full of mischief but is also a great soldier. Fighting beside Maudie, he uses his wit and quickness to achieve many impossible tasks. He provides humor and a great appetite for the delicious foods offered at the Abbey and from Maudie's limited menus on the road. Maudie's little troop soon comes to appreciate this wild and wacky little guy.
Orkwil Prink
Orkwil Prink is just a young hedgehog, but because of his propensity toward stealing things, he has been forced to leave the Abbey. Though good-hearted, Orkwil simply cannot help himself when it comes to "borrowing" things from his friends. In an attempt to teach the feisty hedgehog a lesson, he has been told to stay away from the Abbey for a whole season. Though he leaves in disgrace, Orkwil will become a great hero in the battles that threaten the Abbey and his friends. Orkwil, Maudie, Rangval and Gorath will find their paths crossing in most spectacular ways.
Author Brian Jacques again creates the fresh, unforgettable characters who abound in the world of Redwall. Badgers, otters, weasels, squirrels, shrews, mice, rabbits and rats are given even better definition with the fine drawings of David Elliot. An excellent map of the woods and plains surrounding the Abbey helps follow the travelers as they move toward the great climactic battle outside of Redwall. EULALIA! is yet another delightful tale to be enjoyed by the many fans of this series. For those who haven't read these books, what a treat they have in store!

I have been an avid Redwall reader ever since I found Mossflower in my school library in grade six. I was immediately taken with the series. so when I got Eulalia! I was thrilled. Do not listen to 1 star reveiwers on this or any other Redwall book. They will tell you the series has worn itself out. I say different.
Sure, there are repetitive instances such as there being a rat in Mossflower who has the same name of another rat in Lord Brocktree, but the main stories are vastly different to each other.
I had to take points off this book because of some repetitiveness like the slight overuse of the Badger's bloodwrath in every book and Vizka Longtooth trying to dig his way into Redwall. Vizka was the second vermin to try that. Cluny the Scourge tried that in the first Redwall book. He succeded but if I remember correctly he was stopped by the Redwallers pouring caoldrons of hot porridge among his troops. Vizka did not succeed but the idea was the same.
I will not reveal too much of the plot now because you might want to read it yourself. but take my word for it: great book, great author, great series. Mossflower (Redwall, Prequel to the Redwall Series)
