Won the BSFA Award for Best Novel (1988). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 1 other award.

Ryhope Wood is three square miles of Herefordshire woodland which is, once inside, much, much more: a labyrinth which spreads over space and time, wherein live all the creatures and configurations - the mythagos - of ancient legend. This great primal forest is fascinating and terrible, steeped in myth and mystery, and no one who passes into it comes out unchanged - if they come out at all. Ryhope Wood is quite unlike anything anyone could ever have foreseen, beyond reality, beyond imagination. In MYTHAGO WOOD, Stephen Huxley has already lost his father to Ryhope Wood; he returns from war to find his brother Christian has followed the family obsession. LAVONDYSS finds young Tallis Keeton adventurying into the very heart of the realm.
