How is “Jacques” pronounced?
What kinds of books does he read? Brian Jacques doesn’t read other children’s books because he doesn’t want his style to be influenced by other authors. Among the books he does like is Wind in the Willows, which is also an anthropomorphic tale. He also very much likes Homer’s ancient Greek epics, The Iliad and The Odyssey. He also enjoys the works of Mario Puzo, Damon Runyon, Richard Condon, Larry McMurtry and P.G. Wodehouse. As Redwall fans know, he also has a knack for poetry. (Special thanks to redwall.
