Brian Jacques noooo
Feb. 10th, 2011 12:26 pmI can't believe Brian Jacques is dead!
I grew up on the Redwall series and adored him as a child. Okay, the books got a litle samey in the end and I grew to dislike the black-and-white characterisation but he really inspired me to read. He also did a radio show for Mersey radio and I used to insist my dad put it on each Sunday morning. Never mind that I didn't get the jokes, it was Brian Jacques, my hero!
He also used to volunteer with the Royal School for the Blind in Liverpool, where my aunt was working as a doctor. He was delighted when she told him I loved his work and signed all my copies of his books with 'To my pal Becky.' It was such a lovely thing to do.
I want to go home and weep. The man was my first hero. Rest in peace, Brian.
