Illustrated by
Peter Standley.
Kidnapped as a baby and raised by a nomadic clan of vermin called the Juskarath, Tagg the otter has never known the gentle ways of his real Redwall family. Even so, his training as a warrior has not turned him into the bloodthirsty assassin that his adoptive father wants him to be. Readers will welcome the appearance of a new generation of Redwall creatures, and smart, good-natured Tagg is an appealing hero.
