25. Redwall author Brian Jacques Remembered....

Photobucket


On Febuary 5, 2011, Brian Jacques, author of the Redwall series, passed away.

Brian Jacques books really helped me with reading. The first series I really loved was Harry Potter. And the second was Redwall. I have had the great honor of reading Jacques books, and to this day they remain some of my favorites. He was truly a great author who wrote books that will be remembered and read for ages to come.

A Roman Catholic, Jacques lived in Liverpool, England. He had a wife, two sons, and a granddaughter.

May you rest in peace Brian Jacques, you will truly be missed.


- Austin
