Eulalia Blog


Eulalia, by Brian Jacques, is a 389 page story of breathtaking battles. The main protagonists are Gorath, Orwkwil, Skipper, Log a Log Luglug, and Maudie. The main antagonist is Vizka Longtooth. Gorath is a badger who was chosen by the spirits to be Lord of Salmandstrom, the mountain of badgers. He is captured by vermin who killed his grandparents in the process of capturing Gorath, infuriating him. He manages to escape to Redwall, an abbey of peace. Maudie is a hare sent by Salmandstrom to find Gorath. Orkwil is a battle hero who helps Maudie and Gorath in battle. Log a Log Luglug is the leader of a clan of shrews who also help in battles. Skipper is a leader of a battling clan as well, but his clan consists of otters. Vizka Longtooth and his clan of vermin were responsible for killing Gorath’s grandparents. Gorath and his friends must defeat the vermin if they wish to protect the lives of the people in Redwall’s gates- and their own lives. Log a Log Luglug is courageous.
Log a Log is a very brave shrew. When his father was killed, he took over as leader and cared for his clan’s needs. He did not back down when faced with enemies, but went after them seeking to revenge his father’s death. If a danger was encountered like mice attacking, Log a Log was first to help. This book was so irresistably fascinating that I could hardly put it down.
