The Legend of Luke Paperback - 2007

by Brian Jacques


From the publisher

In the summertime, Brian Jacques creates his enthralling Redwall books on an old manual typewriter in the garden of his Liverpool home. "I like to think of myself as a bit of an old-fashioned romantic in writing," he says. "I don't like technology. I like the romantic age of "once upon a time" and "long ago and far away ..."

Before he began writing for children, Brian Jacques' life was as rich and adventurous as the stories he creates. At the age of fifteen, he went to sea and travelled the world before returning to Liverpool. He has been a professional fold singer and has won acclaim for his plays performed at the Everyman Theatre, where he was resident playwright. For many years, he has presented his one-man show, Jakestown, on Radio Merseyside.

The Legend of Luke is the twelfth book in the best-selling Redwall series which has captivated young readers everywhere and won universal praise. Redwall, Mossflower and Salamandastron have each won the Lancashire Libraries Children's Book of the Year Award. Redwall, Mossflower and Mattimeo have won the Western Australian Young Readers' Award, and together with Salamandastron, were nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
