The Devil in a Forest
One of the strangest battles between Good and Evil ever fought...
Deep in a remote forest wilderness lay a village so humble, so insignificant, that only a handful of people knew it existed. Yet it was here that a bizarre battle was waged in the endless war between Good and Evil.
Led by Fate into the timeless struggle were:
WAT - the savage (and charming) highwayman
MOTHER CLOOT - the cunning and cruel possessor of mysterious powers
BARROW MAN - the awesome spirit of a long-dead warrior
And MARK - not yet totally seduced by Evil, not yet totally convinced by Good
Here is a rich, haunting story of fantasy and supernatural conflict by Gene Wolfe, creator of that brilliant epic masterpiece THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN. It is a superb novel full of the author's inimitable wit, humanity and stunning imaginative power.
