Dibbun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dibbuns are young creatures of all species who reside at Redwall Abbey in the fictional Redwall series by Brian Jacques. The term dibbun is just an all-encompassing name for children, similar to the terms toddlers or young'uns. Dibbuns also have a quaint mode of speech (similar to ospreys and moles), especially molebabes. The term was first introduced in Mariel of Redwall.

[edit] Dibbuns Against Bedtime

In Triss, a group of Dibbuns formed Dibbuns Against Bedtime, a 'secret' club created by Dibbuns. The club is based on an online group by the same name. Brian Jacques decided to immortalize them in one of his books after a young fan wrote to him.
