Redwall, Mossflower, Salamandastron, and Mattimeo were each nominatedfor the Carnegie Medal. Otherwise, you'll spoil some of the surprises. And, Brian keeps writing new books which fit in between old books, so you'll never get it completely in chronological order anyway. Each year one new Redwall adventure is published. The new book is released in Britain in July, in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa in late August, and in the USA in October.
Paperback editions come out a year after the hardcover edition is first released.
Originally, they were stories told around the campfire at a children's summer camp Brian worked at in Wales. Brian Jacques' newest adventure, Castaways of the Flying Dutchman , will be released on March 19, 2001. It is not a Redwall adventure, but deals with the folklore legend of the Flying Dutchman, a phantom ship cursed to roam the seas for all eternity. Even my brother likes them, and he's not much of a reader.
