Brian Jacques

Opis

"School Library Journal" says that "Brian Jacques has the true fantasy writer's ability to create a wholly new and believable world". And the bestselling author of the "Redwall" series now proves it once again with his new bestseller about a magnificent set of rose-colored pearls--and the quest of both an evil emperor and a determined young hedgehog to claim them.

  A richly imagined world in which bloody battles vie for attention with copious feasting and tender romancing. Where males and females are heroes and warriors.

Dr. Jacques was a lifelong resident of Liverpool, England.
