The Forest of Hours

First edition in English. 8vo. 488pp. Teal-green boards, lettered in gilt to spine.

Translated from the Swedish Rövarna i Skuleskogen (1988), by Anna Paterson.

Fantasy covering half a millennium of mythical happenings set in the real world locale of Skule Forest where Skord, a magical being observes and interacts with humans, trolls, giants and the forest itself. "[A] wonderful Rabelaisian romp that combines elements of fairy tale, Norse saga and historical novel, 16th century ribald literature, mysticism, alchemy, and close interpersonal relationships reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman films." –Georges T. Dodds, SF Site
