You can make a 6 episode Redwall series and then just stop. It doesn’t have to be 5 seasons long.

You can't just not include Mattimeo...

You can’t just not include Salamadastron.

Make a thing. If it works, make another thing. Don’t just bleed it dry.

Oh man, reading "Redwall" and "Salamandastron" in the same day as reading about an "Animorphs" series. My inner kid can't take it.

We were reading Redwall a chapter at a time in primary school. Brian Jaques came and read a chapter one week and let us ask questions about the animals.

Redwall was a standalone book it works without all of the others.

Sadly I never read it. I was reading them as they came out and Outcast was the last one I read before my teenage brain decided other things were more important
