Happy birthday, Brian Jacques! Even though no celebration at Redwall Abbey would be complete without heaps of food and woodland adventures, we promise not to let any mischievous mice—or ghostly sailors—make off with your party cake this year!Your vivid tales have thrilled us from the curious mysteries aboard The Flying Dutchman trilogy to spooky chills in Seven Strange and Ghostly Tales. We suspect you might celebrate by spinning another wonderfully wicked yarn or perhaps befriending yet another courageous critter. Here's wishing all your birthdays bring more daring escapades—and fewer run-ins with Ribbajacks! Cheers to a storyteller whose imagination forever sails onward, timeless as legend itself.
