The Redwall Series

Has anyone else heard of the Redwall series by Brian Jacques? I enjoy the series. I have noticed that every book in the series I have read so far has at least two plotlines going on at once. I personally don’t have too much trouble following the multiple plotlines, but I can see that it might be confusing to other people. Often, a bunch of characters will go on a quest of some sort, while the others stay back at Redwall and something happens there. It alternates between the story of the characters who are away and the story of the characters who are at home. Then, in the resolution of the book, the plotlines meet up again when the questers return home.
