Gate of Ivory | Robert Holdstock
A must for all readers of Holdstock - the story that precedes MYTHAGO WOOD This novel tells the story which precedes MYTHAGO WOOD. Steven Huxley's father, George, and brother, Christian, are the protagonists, and George's discovery of the primeval woodland which holds the mythagos - figures from myth, legend or dream - is detailed. Christian's introduction to the wood is fasciantingly drawn and in many ways this is the most fantastical of the entire series.
