by Robert Holdstock

  • Genre: FANTASY

I wish I’d written this ...

... because it’s like a journey into the depths of your own mind!

Brilliantly evocative and utterly captivating, this is a wonderful novel. The central premise is intriguing and entertainingly explored in a style that makes every sentence count, every scene essential. No padding or excess verbiage here, just amazing storytelling with deeply psychological themes. A treat for the inner recesses of your psyche!

From the publisher

The mystery of Ryhope Wood, Britain's last fragment of primeval forest, consumed George Huxley's entire, and long, life. Now, after his death, his sons have taken up his work. But what they discover is beyond what they could have expected. For the Wood is a realm where myths gain flesh and blood, tapping primal fears and desires subdued through the millennia. A realm where love and beauty haunt your dreams — and may drive you insane. Mythago Wood won the World Fantasy Award on its first publication in 1984, and secured Robert Holdstock's reputation as one of the major fantasy writers of our time. Now it returns to print in America for the first time in nearly a decade.
