5/23/2023 0 Comments Mythago wood review![]() ![]() Ryhope Wood, of course, turns out to be something fantastic – a place where dreams and myths come true, a place much bigger on the inside than the outside, a dangerous place of magic, and so forth. Huxley senior was obsessed with Ryhope Wood, a patch of primeval forest at the edge of their estate, and Steven’s brother Christian has continued his work. It’s a story about Steven Huxley, who returns home at the end of WWII to the country house he once lived in with his brother and father. Mythago Wood, winner of the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, fits the bill fairly well. Not that there’s anything wrong with Tolkien-inspired stuff, it’s just that it dominates the genre so completely. ![]() I’ve been trying to read more non-Tolkien fantasy lately. ![]() Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock (1984) 296 p. ![]()
