At long last, release details for Brian’s next Redwall book, Rackety Tam, have surfaced!
Curiously, the current information suggests the book will be published in the UK a full month prior to the US release, a mere six months following the UK publication of Loamhedge.
Rackety Tam is set to be published in the UK on August 5th, 2004 by Viking Children’s Books. It reportedly has a page count of 384 pages. (ISBN: 0670910694)
The US edition of Rackety Tam is set to be published on September 4th, 2004 by Philomel.
For now, I would consider the UK release date tentative. While entirely possible, it remains odd that there would only be a six-month split between new books. Furthermore, recent UK publications have been handled by Puffin, not Viking.
