This book is a detailed examination of one of the most important works of fantasy literature from the twentieth century. It goes through
Mythago Wood
by Robert Holdsk considering how it engages with war on a personal and family level, how it plays with ideas of time as something fluid and disturbing, and how it presents mythology as something crude and dangerous. The book places
in the context of Holdsk’s other works, noting in part how complex ideas of time have been a consistent element in his fiction. The book also briefly examines how the themes laid out in
are carried through into later books in the sequence as well as the Merlin Codex
