A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
"Herne the Hunter" is a captivating work of extraordinary ambition, brilliantly realised. It takes readers on a mesmerising journey down the byways of English folklore, filled with verbal dextrousness, inventiveness, and immense entertainment.
The story revolves around Herne, the hunter, mischief-maker, spirit of the forest, leader of the wild hunt, and a shapeshifter who traverses centuries, pursued by his creator. With his ability to assume various guises, Herne appears at candlelit Twelfth Night revels, the spectacular burning of the Crystal Palace, and an acid-laced Sixties party. Wherever he goes, transgression, debauchery, and enchantment always follow in his wake.
However, as the forest encroaches upon by urban sprawl and gentrification, and the world faces crises, Herne must find a way to survive or exact his revenge. The novel explores themes of identity, nature, and the clash between tradition and modernity, offering a thought-provoking and immersive experience.
Critics have hailed "Herne the Hunter" as a masterpiece, praising its vivid prose, intricate plot, and memorable characters. It has been described as a "mesmerising journey through the dark and mysterious heart of English folklore," and "a work of extraordinary ambition, brilliantly realised."
In conclusion, "Herne the Hunter" is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the power of storytelling and the magic of the natural world. It is a testament to the enduring allure of English folklore and the timeless themes that resonate with readers of all ages.
