Lit ► A question for Redwallers...

[Twilight_Path]

For some strange reason, there's a creature with two genders....

You know that ferret who joined Cluny after he settled down in St. Ninians? The creature's name was Killconey, and when it first mentions the character, she's labeled as a girl.

Later on when Cluny consults her about the tunnel digging, the book refers to Killconey as a guy....

Um, yeah... did anybody else who read Redwall notice this? Maybe it's just my copy...
Lol. I had to check it a few times... I thought I was seeing things :toungesmile:

I just wanted to see if I wasn't the only one who noticed

"In some editions of Redwall, Killconey is inconsistently called both male and female, although Brian Jacques has confirmed that Killconey is male. "


So is this a general Redwall thread now?

 

[Twilight_Path]

Lol. Thanks, mate!
I suppose we could turn it into that if the mods don't mind...

Especially since there have been rumors of a Redwall movie coming in 2011...

Any thoughts? It sure looks real to me!

I'm not keen on movies being based off of books to begin with, and especially not fantasy novels. Nothing ever shows up the way that you pictured it while reading it.

OMG, I haven't read a Redwall book in years. My 6th grade Reading teacher used to love them. They were just always so weird to me. But my favorite ones were easily Redwall and Taggerung. I also liked how Martin was always featured in the books somehow.

true, but sometimes they actually do a really good job at getting everything right. (the first chronicles of narnia, lord of the rings...) those weren't that bad.

who knows? maybe it will be great!
