Redwall
Read by Brian Jacques
Redwall Abbey, the tranquil home of a community of mice, is threatened by Cluny the Scourge - the evil one-eyed rat warlord. Novice mouse Matthias leads a band of warriors against the predators but their collective might may not be enough to save Redwall. Brian Jacques reads the first volume of his epic series in sonorous tones, resonating the rich language of the text which reflects the monastic setting.
