About the book
Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood centres on Ryhope Wood, an ancient English forest capable of giving physical form to figures drawn from humanity's deepest myths and collective imagination. After returning to his family home, Steven Huxley becomes drawn into the mysteries that obsessed his father and brother. The novel combines fantasy, folklore and psychological exploration, reimagining archetypal heroes, legends and the English landscape in a strange and increasingly dangerous mythic world.
