Person
ROBERT HOLDSTOCK (1948-2009) was widely regarded as one of the greatest fantasists of his time. Mythago Wood (1984), the novel that made his reputation, won the World Fantasy and BSFA Awards. Among its several sequels, Lavondyss (1988) won the BFSA Award. His interest in Celtic and Nordic mythology was prominently reflected in his accalimed Merlin Codex trilogy, consisting of Celtika, The Iron Grail, and The Broken Kings, published between 2001 and 2007.
