5.0

What if "Frog and Toad" met "King Arthur"? Brian Jacques masterfully expands this idea into a vibrant and detailed world; heartwarming scenes of cozy firesides nestle up against moments of vicious and cruel natural selection. Re-reading this as an adult gave me the perspective to see parallels to the great myths and legends of our world, which are woven deeply to entice the reader and evoke powerful imagery. Some particularly prominent examples I found were the aforementioned King Arthur, The Iliad, and David and Goliath. A wonderful read and a great world to explore!
