Anyone ever read this wonderful series? It’s got multiple sagas to it.

I recently listened to book one with my six year old son. Great adventurous stuff, with terrible villains. But I must admit I was sometimes uncomfortable with the level of violence. The good guys don't just win, they cleave their enemies in half, heads roll and blood spills. I suppose it goes without saying that my son loved it.

I read most of these when I was young and don't really remember them being overly violent. What I do remember are long descriptions of food.

What the Author said is that it’s meant for kids and the stories are about everything wrong with humanity and his real life interactions. Loved this series growing up and they even have a Cartoon on Redwall, Martin The Warrior and Mattimeo.
