Deep in the heart of England lies Ryhope Wood, an ancient, untamed forest where myth and reality blur. When Stephen Huxley returns home after the Second World War, he discovers his father’s obsessive research into the wood’s secrets and the mythagos that dwell there – mystical manifestations of ancient myths brought to life. As Stephen ventures deeper, becoming entangled in a world of legendary beings and a haunting love story, he risks losing himself to the wood itself. Richly imaginative and steeped in folklore, Mythago Wood is a spellbinding exploration of memory, myth and the power of the subconscious.
