“Outcast of Redwall” is a sturdy entry in the Redwall series. It is the eighth book published and the fifth in the story’s chronology, and some readers still relish its descriptions of feasts. Some find its pattern too familiar after many earlier volumes; others, rereading as adults, find the writing simple and the title character underused. Younger readers, or fans returning after a long break, will get the most from it.
