A Redwall Winter's Tale is the second Redwall picture book. It is surmised that it takes place between Redwall and Mattimeo, as Friar Hugo and Mrs Lettie Bankvole are still alive. However Sam Squirrel is now Noisy Sam, and he seems to be an adult. Since he was just out of Dibbunhood at the beginning of Mattimeo, this seems to conflict.
