Do you know who this man is? Probably not. He's a writer, one of my childhood favorites. He wrote the Redwall series, which I don't think you've heard of, Joanna. This man wrote some of the most magical stories. I loved reading his books. I lost interest after a couple books, but I always remember how much fun I had reading them. The best part was that I had a really good friend who loved the series too. I don't have many friends that I can talk to about books, so that was a special friendship that I feel Mr. Jacques brought to me. He also inspired me to start writing terrible poetry, and he got me into the fantasy genre.
It's been almost ten years since I first read his books, and just today I found out he died on February 5. I wanted to take the time to thank Mr. Jacques for entertaining and inspiring a little bookworm, and for bringing me another bookworm friend. I love to read, and he really got me into reading.

Oh, and I know you didn't ask, but the Redwall series is about... animals... that talk and have wars and act just like people. Haha, sounds weird enough? It's like Lord of the Rings, lots of songs (I never read this book, but this is what I heard) but it's animals. And the stories are epic adventures.
