Listen. I read a bunch of these as a kid and I LOVED them and I have very fond memories and with COVID and other life things reading has been really difficult for a very long time. So I've been reading this series and it's delightful and kind of like meeting an old friend as I slowly remember the stories. 12/10 would recommend rereading stuff you like if you're hating books like me right now.

Whenever I think of the Redwall series I always remember this book as being one where I didn't particularly enjoy the 'main villain' plot but enjoyed one other - for the life of my I couldn't recall what it was that I enjoyed.
Luckily it came to my quite quickly - baby Dumble! He is my favourite Dibbun I think and I always remember imagining as a child the sight of him on the back of a bird bringing the cure to Redwall! Done right that would make a good cartoon for kids I think!
The main plot of this book is, as the title suggests, based around the badger lord of Salamandastron. I am glad of the existence of some of the hares (Oxeye in particular) that made those sections much more fun to get through.
I do wonder if this was the first book as a child where I noticed the repetitive nature of the series. I'll admit that despite reading this book a short while ago I really don't remember the plot of it - whereas books like Mariel, The Bellmaker, Taggerung, Redwall, Mattimeo still have plots that stand out in my mind...

I first read the Redwall books years ago and I still enjoy them when I recently re-read them. I love the world building and the creativity with which these animals were anthropomorphized. The level of description is really well done and very detailed. So adventurous and so very entertaining.
