Brian Jacques Audiobooks

[Hickory]

The audiobooks are voiced by a full cast. Some actors double or triple or quadruple or quintuple up on other roles. It's quite good and the majority of audiobooks have musical accompianaments.

Sounds goooood!

[Darkenmal]

The audiobooks are great. I listened to Mossflower last summer and despite one or two of the voices sounding slightly off from what I imagined them to be and some poor audio quality, it was a lot of fun. Brian Jacques was a great narrator as well as a writer.

I own four of the audiobooks. Of those four, Rakkety Tam is my favorite. I have listened to others from my local library, but that was years ago.

[The Skarzs]

I've never listened to any audiobook of the series. I'm thinking of trying it out some time.

I've never listened to any audiobook of the series. I'm thinking of trying it out some time.

Do so.  I've listened to a few and they're seriously amazing.  I love the bits of music at the beginning of each chapter; it really sets the mood.

So I've got an extra credit on my Audible account and I want to get another Redwall book. I already have The Long Patrol and I've read Rakkety Tam three times already (it's a good one! I always felt that Rakkety Tam was a faster paced story than the others for no particular reason), so I want to revisit one that I haven't read in a while.

Any suggestions?

[James Gryphon]

Mossflower? Martin the Warrior? Pearls of Lutra or Marlfox (those go perfectly with Long Patrol, too, so it'd help make a set).

Redwall itself might be old hat for you, but if not -- I don't know what the Audible recording of Redwall sounds like, but we have a cassette version of the full cast production and it's amazing. Everybody in the cast is just perfect for the job; Cluny has a great Spanish/Portugese accent, too. I highly recommend it, or similar versions. Look for the ones where Mr. Jacques himself narrated and I trust it'll be the highest quality.

[Captain Tammo]

The Audible recordings I've found for the Redwall series are all official recordings like the cassette tapes: Brian as narrator, songs, and a full cast & crew!

I really should give the first book another read-through. Although it's been ages since I read Marlfox. That one could be fun! Decisions, decisions...

[Matthias720]

If you want a good audiobook version, I recommend High Rhulain or Rakkety Tam. Out of the ones I own, they are my favorites.

[Cornflower MM]

There's an audio of Rakkety Tam?! How did I not know this?! Thanks Matthias!

As someone who has read all the books multiple times and listened several of the audiobooks, I have to agree with this wholeheartedly. Rakkety Tam was by far the best.

[clunylooney]

I haven't listened to the audiobooks, but I want to.

[Sailears]

Funnily, I only own one of the audiobooks - which happens to be The Long Patrol.

But it's the multiple CD box and I dont have a CD player at the moment so will have to get one and rip it to other storage so I can listen to it again.

I also liked the songs of Redwall CD.

It's interesting to hear how he would presumably be thinking it in his head while writing - things like different creature accents and the ditties/songs/etc. Even things like a play on words between "hare" and "her" which I recall from somewhere in one of the books (but can't remember which one...), happens to work because of the similar pronunciation in Scouse.

[Sebias of Redwall]

I've listened to several of them, and I liked 'em. The songs and tunes fit it well, and BJ's narration is wonderful. Some of the characters' voices were a little off, but that's probably due to the fact that I had read the books first, thus had already decided in my mind what they sounded like to a degree.
