I've read a couple of Robert Holdstock novels that were pretty good. But they didn't prepare me for how wonderful "Mythago Wood" would be. This book explores a couple of acres of England forest that's the remnant of the original primeval woods. It turns out to be much larger on the inside than on the outside, and is populated with the original mythological creatures of human history. Myths have been greatly sanitised over the years, the inhabitants are much more dangerous and capricious than most would expect. I'm eagerly waiting for the sequel "Lavondyss" to come out in paperback. (I almost never by hardcovers. At the rate that I buy books, it's not economically feasible).
