Terri Windling – “The Wood Wife”

Winner of the World Fantasy Award – and a worthy winner, too. Published in 1997 it is a brilliant novel. Unlike most fantasy novels that tend to be suitable only for folk like myself who are ‘into’ fantasy this has a plot which any reader might enjoy. It is like an adult version of all the best fairy tales one read as a child.
