Well to an extent yes. After the third story, that's when Ben and Ned go to Chapelvale. So technically, the sequence if events is:

Book 1: The ship
Book 1: The Shepard
All of book 2
All of book 3
Book 1: The village

And did anyone else know that Brian was approached by STEVEN SPIELBERG to
make a movie of the castaways of the flying Dutchman and Brian turned him down because he wanted kids to read instead!?!??

I knew that. I wish they made a movie of it.
Martin the Warrior is way more epic than Mickey Mouse. Anyone who says otherwise is insane, or just wrong.

I was just thinking about what a movie about the castaways of the Flying Dutchman would be like, it'd be pretty sweet with someone like Spielberg on it, but do you think it'd stay true to the books?

DOCTOR: How is that news to anyone?

-Sometime later, the second mate was unexpectedly rescued by the subplot, which had been trailing a bit behind the boat (and the plot). The whole story moved along.

The only book of this series I've read is, I think, The Angel's Command. I thought it was good, but not a patch on Redwall, which seems to be the thing with some authors: they do a great series, try something new and then it's not quite so enticing.

I disagree. I thought the trilogy of The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman was spectacular! Give the other books a chance and then tell us if you feel the same ;)

I'll try and seek more out if I can get to any car boot sales or charity shops, then. :)

Whether you like the sea or not, the stories of Ben and Ned are filled with all the witty banter, mystery and life lessons you find in the Redwall series.

I HIGHLY recommend the Angel's Command books.
Like all of Brian Jacques stories, we have read them over and over.

The Castaways series has Ned, the dog.
He is our favorite character, witty, wise and loves a good ear scratch.
