But the human/creature ratio could be different in the Redwall Universe.

But really, even if the mice were the size of your thumb, all the places that are in Redwall, all the rooms, all the secret places, it would still be pretty big.

If mice in Redwall were the size of my thumb, the tip at least is one inch, Redwall would probably be the size of 15' by 15' or something.
But I'm assuming that there really isn't any way to compare the Redwall creatures to humans. It's a totally different universe: ratios should be completely different.

Life is too short to rush through it.

15 feet?! I don't think that's enough at all! I'm sticking with a whale... A BLUE WHALE! That's right... I said it.

Are you saying that Redwall is possably the size of a Blue Whale?

Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

I do recall that. He said that the whale was maybe even bigger than Redwall.

Probably was. A blue whale is bigger than any larger building in this world, so imagine what the size ratio would be like in that world!

I get the feeling the building itself was fairly large, with quite a bit underground. However, As it is, I am pretty sure the grounds were very large (remember the races?). The pond had big fish in it, and watershrimp, so it must be like a small lake. Also, they had a seemingly infinite food supply, which they had to grow somewhere. So I say that the grounds are probably very large indeed.

I have a question, Are we taking about Redwall the Abbey (Or Building) part of it or are we talking about all of it including the grounds?

Comparing the whale to the building and talking about the size of the whole thing, grounds included.
