Lady Shael had mentioned the Warriors series by Erin Hunter... yeah, a lot of Warriors fans are fans of Redwall too.  It's another of my favorite series; I'm quite well known on its official forum.

And who are you on the Warrior Cats forum? I'm Sandfire of WindClan.
I'm Dawnwing on there as well (and on Warrior's Wish, too, of course).

I haven't read them, but it seems the Warrior Cat series by Erin Hunter is similar to Redwall... at least a lot of Warrior Cat fans seem to also be fans of Redwall.

Watership Down is another popular book with Redwall fans but it isn't a series.
i read like 1 book of warrior cats but it has people in it and its modern thats why i stopped reading that and started reading redwall

I love the Lord of the Rings books and have read all of them, including The Hobbit.  I have also read four of the five Mistmantle Chronicles books and enjoyed them immensly.  There is another book series that is cut from the same cloth as Redwall.  It is written by an author named Robin Jarvis.  I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the series.  If anyone knows the series that I speak of please feel free to enlighten the whole diccussion group.  Thanks.

The Alchemist's Cat is one I remember by Robin Jarvis. I think he's written a few series about about anthropomorphic mice. Here's his wikipedia page.

Another series that I just remembered, this time about moles, is the Duncton Chronicles by William Horwood. I remember my Dad buying me the books because I liked Redwall so much. Thematically they're quite different to the Redwall series, the only real similarity is the fact that they're both about anthropomorphic British mammals.

I really enjoyed the Hermux Tantamoq adventures series by Michael Hoeye.  There are four books.  It's about animals much like the redwall ones in that they walk on two legs, wear clothes, there are no humans, except it was given a modern twist.  It follows Hermux Tantamoq, a watchmaker mouse.  All the stories are mysteries/adventures, with the theme of time.

I couldnt put them down! Though they arent written with a structure like Redwalls, they read quick and are exciting and Hermux is an awesome protagonist.

In terms of  a book with both content and structure like Redwall, I don't know of any.  that's what makes redwall so special and hard to put down.

Warriors- true, but I haven't followed the series in forever. They (Erin Hunter is three people, actually) have really drawn out the series, which worked with Redwall, because of the incredible variety, but they just can't pull it off.
Mistmantle-amazing. Stupendous. Closest in depth, detail, innocence, adventure, and creativity to Redwalll as possible.
The Robin Jarvis series are the Deptford Mice trilogy and the Deptford Chronicles trilogy, the prequels. I reccomend the latter as a much deeper and complex example. Great great books, but very dark. I reccomend teen and up only.

I loved the Mistmantle Chronicles! I've only read the first three books, though. My darned library doesn't have the other two. I did think that the main character should've had a better name than 'Urchin' though.

Well, considering the storyline, Urchin isn't something everyone sees as glamorous.  You hear of "urchin" you think of something like homeless boys--which the young squirrel was--a squirrel without a home.  He was frowned upon in the first book when he was in the castle because he was so unusual, so actually his name is perfect for the first book.  Yeah he probably outgrew it in the later books because he certainly belonged and was respected by then, but I don't think McAllister was thinking "series" when she wrote that first story. ;)

Just my two cents on it. ;)

Side note on Guardians of Ga'Hoole. The whole Pure Ones thing is actually an analog of Nazi Germany, right down to St Aggie's Academy being an almost perfect avian rendition of the HitlerJugend. There's also the fact that the entire story has the main characters escaping from an enemy-occupied mainland to an island monarchy over the sea. Not to mention, one of the characters is basically an owl version of Sir Winston Churchill.

The similarities don't stop there... The Pure Ones move all "non-pure" owls to "re-education schools" complete with brainwashing programs and they also take away the "un-pure's" ability to fly. 

It is very cool and anyone who loves Redwall should check it out.

Yeah, I read the entire series and loved it. And the movie, even though it's far-taken from the books, actually makes the whle Hitler Youth and Nazi thing a bit more obvious.

If our love's insanity why are you my clarity?
