Farewell to the weaver of dreams

Feb 15, 2011 02:31

Today is a sad day for Redwall fans all around the world. The man who brought this magical fantasy world into existence, Mr. Brian Jacques, passed away during the evening of February 5 after an aortic aneurysm, he was 71 years old.

Anyone who has ever experienced the books of Brian Jacques knows his skill for literally whisking you away to another world.  Reading his books, you get lost and forget about the world around you instead you are transported to a world of pirates and Badger lords; of magic swords and the perilous hares of the Long Patrol.

If you have never heard of him, I plead with you to pick up the first book "Redwall" and read it.  You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Jacques, rest you now on the quiet sunny fields of eternity, you will be missed.
