‘Rackety Tam’ Release Dates

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.
