Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood

Paul Kincaid has produced a concise but valuable companion to Mythago Wood (1984), the prize-winning first volume of the Mythago Wood series, with an introduction, three thematic chapters, and very brief coda. . . . Kincaid documents Mythago Wood s impact and influence on fantasy-writing in the last decades of the twentieth century, noting that it won both the British Science Fiction Award and the World Fantasy award . (Elizabeth Heckendorn Cook, SFRA Review, Vol. 54 (3), 2024)

ROBERT HOLDSTOCK S MYTHAGO WOOD WAS HONORED with multiple awards, including the World Fantasy Award both as a novelette and as a full-length novel. Paul Kincaid s brief treatment of Holdstock s work is compact in length but substantial in the depth of its analysis. Kincaid s work is part of the Palgrave Science Fiction and Fantasy: A New Canon series and includes a comprehensive bibliography. Kincaid s assessment of Mythago Wood s place in the fantasy canon is both assured and compelling. (Glenn R. Gray, Mythlore, Vol. 42 (1), October, 2023)
