Robert Holdstock's novels include Mythago Wood, which won the World Fantasy Award; Lavondyss; and Gate of Ivory. He lives in London.
Convinced that her older brother, missing for many years, has lost his way in the magical ancient forest that borders her home, an adolescent girl braves the dangers of Ryhope Wood in search of its mythical center. Holdstock's latest novel, a sequel to Mythago Wood (LJ 11/15/85), continues the author's darkly fascinating, elegantly written exploration of the landscape of humanity's collective unconscious. Highly recommended.
Magical...It is rare to find a sequel which measures up to its original; but Lavondyss surpasses it. --Times Literary Supplement
