Thank you so much for your answers!

Wow, meeting Brian Jacques must have been wild! I enjoyed the Redwall books too, though not as much as my sibling, who had and read all of them multiple times; my partner really loved them too, so it’s been a joy to begin to share them with our child, who is getting deep into them.

I’ve not got a connection to anything else you’ve posted (though enjoyed some of LeGuin’s other works) so thank you for the recommendations 🙏
