Believe it or not, I've never read any Redwall books. I grew up on stuff like Uncle Remus' Brer Rabbit stories, Kipling's Jungle Book, and Wind in the Willows. I've even read the Silverwing series (because bats!!!). I don't get out much any more; if I did I could check a Redwall book out of the library, I suppose.
But then, I want to meet Pinkie Pie!!!
I read those books growing up and enjoyed them, and would read them to my own children if I had any. But any kind of trans-whatever is just nuts.
I’d rather party with Mr. Tumnus and the other denizens of Narnia, myself, but ... hey, whatever floats your boat.
