A Walk in Wolf Wood by Mary Stewart

3.0

Two children wander away from their parent's picnic and find themselves drawn to follow a strange man in medieval dress into the woods. They end up carried back in time and involved in breaking the curse on that same man, cast by an evil sorcerer lusting after power over the kingdom. I've had this book kicking around my collection since childhood and it's only now, as an adult that I finally managed to get around to it. This is a very cute story that I would have absolutely loved if I had read it as a child. While I'm not as impressed with it as I would have been then, I did find it to be an enjoyable read. It's certainly not the most complicated or original plot, but Mary Stewart has a very charming writing style and I found myself easily engaged with it until the end.
