Book Description:
A young hedgehog maid visits Redwall Abbey and sings a half-remembered song recounting the adventures of a warrior called Luke. This chance meeting begins a tale of two quests: that of a son to find his father and that of a father to avenge the murder of his beloved wife.
The son is Martin the Warrior, founder of Redwall, who sets forth from the Abbey seeking the truth about the father he barely knew. His journey takes him home to the northland shore, meeting friends and enemies, old and new, and leading him to an extraordinary shipwreck. The wreck, the Arfship, is home to three ancient, veteran warriors who have in their possession a dusty old volume. Inside is the story of Martin's early life and the dramatic account of his father Luke's pursuit of his hated enemy, the pirate stoat, Vilu Daskar.
Brian Jacques' skillful narrative is told in three parts, interweaving the stories of father and son. Addressing some of the mysteries behind the Abbey's early years, this book provides answers that no Redwall fan will want to miss.

This was ok. I read most of the Redwall and they are all pretty much the same book. This one tells about Luke. Not a bad yarn.

good series for any age. A little "cutsie for adults, but I liked them enough to read several of the titles and to keep the earliest books for my granddaughters to read in a couple of years.

"Swashbuckling adventure told with great gusto in rousing words." -Chicago Tribune
Nathan A. from BOSTWICK, GA wrote on 7/4/2006...The 12th book in the Redwall series. Excellent condition.
Another great book- I love this series!
Redwall's champion, Martin the Warrior, embarks on a dangerous journey to the northland shore to trace the legendary exploits of his father, Luke. This book is a great read. It grabs your attention and keeps it throughout the story.
