Rating:  Summary: not perfect, but very good Review: The packaging is very nice here, being a book cover which, when opened, reveals an attached booklet of quizzes on the left and a fold-out map on the right.The quiz book covers the first ten Redwall books and contains five quizzes of seven to eleven questions: Places and Journeys, Heroes and Heroines, Rogues and Villains, Dreams and Quests, and Food and Feasts. There are also five riddles taken from the Redwall books, and all answers are given at the back. I didn't think these questions were overly easy. They are not multiple choice, and if you read the ten books before taking the quizzes, how can you remember the "four other titles of Gabool the Wild" or all the ingredients of the Great Hall cake, for instance? Some, where a riddle is given and the solution requested, are easier than others. The map folds out to about three feet by two feet and is nice as a very general map. I was hoping that it would be more of a combination of all the ten books' maps, with all the labelling from them, but most of the specific places from those maps aren't noted. Also, it would have been nice to have sites marked where interesting plot elements occurred. Still, it is fun to have a big map of the Redwall universe. All in all, this was slightly disappointing, but still a lot of fun.
Rating:  Summary: A verry handy guide for the redwall fan Review: This book has it all. It show most of the places mentioned in the redwall books and it has some that are not on the maps in the books. the riddler has many chalanging questions in it.
Rating:  Summary: Redwall Map and Riddler Review: This edition to Brian Jacques Redwall Series is terrific. If you have read all the books and are a real Redwall fan you will find the riddler extremely easy. Another thing is there should be another map. This one does not show the locations of newer books such as Loamhedge, Wood Isle, Twin Islands, etc......... However,the map is very colorful and pleasant. So, if you are looking for a good quiz or do not know where a location in one of the books is this is the thing for you. Redwall Rules!

Rating:  Summary: A fine riddler Review: This is a great book to see the mystical world of Redwall and tickle your brain at the same time!
Rating:  Summary: A must have for those starting out on the Redwall series Review: We love the map! It's quite big with great illustrations!(Have not read the riddles yet) We just started the first book in the series and the map has really helped to get a 'feel for the story' to know distance, direction and scale of the settings. We actually took the map out of the book and put it up on the wall in the room where we read. If you decide to take it out, be very very careful, it took me a long time to get it out because it was stuck really well (and not really meant to be taken out) I was lucky that it didn't tear, but I spent ages slowly separating it from the book.
