'''The Great Redwall Feast''' is the first ''Redwall'' picture book by [[Brian Jacques]]. The narrative occurs after the events of ''[[Redwall]]''. Published in [[1996]], it was written in the form of a ballad and illustrated by [[Christopher Denise]].<br />
<br />
===Summary===<br />
The residents of [[Redwall Abbey]] are busy planning a surprise feast in honor of their old [[Abbot Mordalfus|Father Abbot]], who is napping. Unfortunately the feast, led by [[Friar Hugo]], requires a lot of [[The Kitchen|Kitchen]] preparation and activity and the Redwallers are worried about being discovered. <br />
<br />
[[Matthias]] and [[Cornflower Fieldmouse]] propose sending the Abbot out on a stroll, and just at that moment, the Abbot awakens from his nap and declares that he wants to go on a "Bobbatan Quest Weary Nod". The Abbey dwellers are surprised and confused and believe the old Abbot has lost his mind. In spite of this, Matthias, [[Constance]], and [[Foremole (Redwall)|Foremole]] volunteer to accompany the Abbot on his journey. <br />
<br />
While the travelers walk around [[Mossflower Woods]], the remaining Redwallers make the necessary preparations for the feast. All sorts of small "disasters" and scares occur, many of them caused by a young mischievous mole, [[Bungo (Great Redwall Feast, Winter's Tale)|Bungo]]. Several well-known Redwallers help out in the feast's preparation, including [[Basil Stag Hare]], [[Ambrose Spike]], and [[Skipper (Great Redwall Feast)|Skipper]]. [[Sam Squirrel|Noisy Sam]] serves as a lookout, warning the Redwallers of the comings and goings of the Abbot.<br />
<br />
Finally, the preparations are finished right as Father Abbot and his companions return, seemingly empty-handed. After the wonderful feast, marked by a great abundance of [[Redwall Food|tasty food]], the Abbot reveals the purpose of his quest, an anagram of "Bobbatan Quest Weary Nod". The Redwallers realize that the Abbot knew much more than he let on and was actually very wise, since the anagram really meant "Abbot's Banquet Ready Now!"<br />
