The twentieth book in the classic fantasy Redwall series - perfect for readers aged 9+.
When young mouse Bisky persuades the inhabitants of Redwall Abbey to go in search of the stolen jewelled eyes of the Great Doomwyte Idol of long ago, he has no idea that the fearsome Korvus Skurr, the black-feathered raven and his gang, are vying for that very same treasure.
All too soon the brave Redwallers find themselves in the grips of adventure, solving mysterious riddles and battling villainous foes.
