Late, but...

spottoI am twenty days late, despite that I still wish to write this blog post, since I somehow somehow just learned of this news now.
Brian Jacques passed away on February 5th.
Some of you might be wondering who he was, well, he was the author of Redwall. Now as a child I never liked to read, and well, right now reading isn't one of my hobbies, but the reason I started to write and read anything was because of his novels. The whimisical talking animals that defended their abbey, defended their mountain against the scourge, the wicked rats and stoats that would threaten the safety of the peaceful creatures every book. I loved the accents of each animal, and the clever foxes that donned many of the books. Even though I haven't picked up one of his novels in quite a while, I still have my favourite: Martin the Warrior, a copy I own myself. Surely the most influential published piece of literature of my childhood.
Rest in peace Mr. Jacques.
