A fantastical masterpiece
This venture into Ryhope Wood centres on Christian Huxley, one of the sons of George Huxley, and deals with his strange adventures in a fantastical land.
This novel has a very Celtic feel to it with references to other tales in this series, including subjects such as death, the idea of mythago and the Green Man.
I love the fluid, rhythmical prose that captures both terrible good and dreadful evil. The strongest theme that comes through is the idea of Quest and the two gates in the title; one brings dreams of truth, the other of illusion. But which gate does Christian experience?
A delightful, tantalising read that makes me want to re-read it immediately!
