A review by kerveros
Marlfox by Brian Jacques
5.0
I like that Marlfox is really the first book in the series to re-use a notable place from the early books. I mentioned in one of my reviews of an earlier book (Pearls of Lutra I think) that the home of the Marlfoxes here was once the same island the White Ghost lived on - who, if you have read all the books you know to be Urthwyte from Salamandastron.
I especially liked that his legend remained and actually played a part in this book. Apart from Martin you don't really hear of any previous characters being remembered. The addition of the Noonvale players was also nice as it ties back to Martin the Warrior (and considering the next book focuses back on Martin it is a useful reminder).
The only other thing I would say is, that by this time you would surely think the animals of Redwall would hang Martins tapestry somewhere more secure...
