a well-written cozy and atmospheric novella about a wild man in the woods and a young curious man looking for folktales, faeries, dryads, and dangerous entities
i loved Tobias’ (the narrator) voice and the worldbuilding

That was not at all what I expected and that was absolutely lovely. It reads like an old folk ballad, only it twists in a completely new direction.

Madam Silver FTW. Here's to bossy old broads who take no nonsense from anyone.

Tobias had thought and thought about it, for four hundred years, until he’d reached the conclusion that Fabian must have loved him, after all, in his own way. That was the worst of it. The thing that woke now every year was always glad to see him.

Gosh, this story made me feel like I was a part of the forest as well. Somehow I felt like I could feel what the forest feels. That i was drip-drip-dripping dew too. The whole thing was so pretty I couldn't put it down and basically read it in one sitting.

I wish it were a rainy day read with a view of nature, that would have been absolute bliss.
