RIP. I love the Mythago Wood cycle.

I read the first one; it was excellent Is the rest of the series worth it? How many are there and does it end?

Hi Crothian,
You can find more information here:

Mythago Wood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've enjoyed his works but been a long while since I've read them, but Mythago Wood was definitely brilliant and moving.

This is sad. I love those books -- so deep.

I shall raise a glass in his honour tonight.
