Mrs Mungo Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So sad. :( I highly recommend his audio books, he was a wonderful storyteller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Oh my goodness. How sad. He is one of our favorite authors. His audio books are captivating. My kids call those furry brown things outside our window "squiddles" as he pronounced it with his wonderful accent. One time, we were listening to Redwall in the car on vacation. We were nearing the end of the book as we were getting close to home. We were so engrossed in the story that we were startled to hear someone knocking on our window. It was a neighbor wondering why we had been sitting in our driveway for 5 minutes after such a long drive. We hadn't even noticed that we returned home.

plansrme Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Awww, so bummed to hear that. About 3 years ago, my then-Redwall-fanatic 10 year old daughter and I went to see Mr. Jacques at a Borders about 45 minutes from us. He gave a delightful talk and then was so friendly when he autographed books for us. I am so glad we went. Just last night, I was collecting the names of my kids' favorite authors for a piece of customized artwork we are having done for our living room, and he was high on the list of all-time favorites. Thanks for letting us know. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So sad. :( I highly recommend his audio books, he was a wonderful storyteller. :iagree: Loved reading the books, but his narrations and dramatizations of them are outstanding!

Miss Marple Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 So sad to hear that. He's a favorite of ours. Two of my boys are developing their own collections of the hardbound Redwall books. I wasn't willing to give up my set. What a wonderful author and interesting man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yep, I'll admit it: I cried. His books have been such a huge part of our lives and so instrumental in developing a love of reading in our boys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
