THE WOOD BEYOND THE WORLD

In The Wood Beyond the World, a sea voyage separates the more fantastic realms from the hero Walters mundane home town, though the land of the Wood sends visions even there--of the lands witchy Mistress, her enslaved Maid, and a hideous, savagely energetic dwarf servitor. . . . Walter defies all advice and reason, abandons his fellows, and sets off through mountains and wastes to the Wood where he can meet the mysterious three . . . the stage is set for triangular games of love and power. -- David Langford_,
