Into the Woods

More about the book

Into the Woods takes us to imaginary wild woodland in the center of London. In this story the woodsman, the wild girl, and the widow Mary live in a recognizable present, but being archetypes, they continually try to emerge from our time into one that may never have been - the Lambeth woods. We too are drawn into our own fantasies of wild woods from folk tales, and here real-life images of Epping Forest and Box Hill fuel our imagination. In the end though, we emerge back to the familiar, signaling the end of the wild wood. This second collection from Anna Robinson builds upon her acclaimed debut The Finders of London, leading us further into a London that we have never seen before.
