Harry the Muse, Sir

Gender: male

Species: short-eared brown owl

Appears In: Mattimeo




Harry - named in honour of Sir Harry Livermore, a friend of Mr. Jacques - is a resident of an unknown place who enjoys speaking in poem. He first meets Matthias's group when the group are trying to figure out how to scale the gigantic Great South Cliffs as Slagar has pulled the rope ladder to the top. In exchange for food he agrees to retrieve the ladder, thus allowing the friends to climb up. Some time later he reappears when the pursuers are attacked by a pair of buzzards, rescuing a GUOSIM shrew that has been snatched up by the birds, and assists them again when he recovers the burned bridge at the Abyss. He later takes a captured Threeclaws and four other weasels south as they have been banished by Matthias and Orlando. When the woodlanders return to Redwall with their rescued youngsters he is named leader of Warbeak Loft.
