Mythago Wood follows the story of Steven Huxley, who returns to Oak Lodge, his family home, after being injured in the war in 1945. Steven’s brother, Christian, now lives at the lodge after their father, George Huxley, died. George had spent most of his life obsessively studying Ryhope Wood, a ‘wildwood’ or ‘primary oak wood’ situated on the outskirts of the lodge in Herefordshire. Steven makes it clear from the beginning of the story that he believes his father’s obsession with the wood tore apart the family and drove his father mad.
