Redwall VS. The Wind in the Willows
>> Wednesday, April 28, 2010
Please bear with me as I do yet another animal book face-off.
DIFFERENCES
.Redwall is more medieval
.Rats and Toads evil in Redwall, though Toad in WITW is a bit of a nuisance
.No pistols in Redwall
.Moles don't have those adorable accents in WITW
.Redwall has no cars
.No Christmas in Redwall
.Humans in WITW, but not in Redwall
.No satyrs or regular countries in Redwall. Or gypsies, either, unless you count the Shrews. (They've always reminded me of gypsies.)
SIMILARITIES
.Rats, moles, badgers, hedgehogs, rabbits, toads, stoats, weasels, foxes, otters
.Moles, badgers, hedgehogs, otters-GOOD
.Stoats, weasels, foxes-BAD
.Picnics
.Badgers like being loners
.Cluny's haycart is similar to Toad's caravan and the bargewoman's barge.
.Moles are sensible
.Weasels and stoats invade
.One word: swords

lol... well, i've never read the Redwall series, so I guess that means I'm partial...
Wind in the Willows all the way!!! :D
Yeah, I've always thought the Guosim were like gypsies.
I love the WITW picture you found! It's by the artist who is the author of the Mouse Guard series, which is, IMO, very well done. Ever heard of it?
Heard of it?
I ADORE the Mouse Guard series!
That's how I found the picture
