I can't think of a name, so if you have suggestions, please post them. Anyway, here's to Redwall!
Chapter One
From the diary of Deidan, historian and recorder of Redwall Abbey.
All is peaceful. The birds are singing, the insects buzzing. I can hear the Dibbuns "helping" in the orchard. It is the end of The Summer of the Copper Rose. We never did have such beautiful roses as this summer!
Blackcurrant wine, fizzy Strawberry Cordial, October Ale from two autumns ago, and goodness knows what else! Oh, and Barley Water! All these delicious drinks brewed by the Stickleback family are to be used at this coming feast. I did mention the feast didn’t I? My mind is overrun with thoughts about it. It is our good Abbess Latter Rose’s tenth jubilee.
The otters, (excluding my good self), are gathering water shrimp, penny cress, and water chestnut. Half of them are really playing around, but Skipper is doing well enough without them. They will soon traverse Mossflower and invite all the woodlanders to come to our feast when they are done.
Hmmm.. I smell something good! That must be good old Friar Burdock is in his kitchen preparing the food. Pastries, pies, soups, candied chestnuts, salads, cheeses, cakes, puddings, and other tasty morsels. His staff of helpers are also down there. I can smell it from here, the otters have returned and are making hot root soup. It is a favorite of the otters, myself included. I don't suppose they would mind if I popped in to see what help they need? But first, I must wash off this ink! It gets tiresome writing and keeping track of all these diaries! Perhaps I will retire and let young Tarrel take over. She is very eager to learn the way of a scholar.
