A review by monalyisha
A Walk in Wolf Wood by Mary Stewart

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

3.5

A true fairytale (complete with fairytale monsters — human and otherwise) about loyalty and how the thirst for power corrupts.

I remember, distinctly, learning the word “amulet” as kid, encountering it for the first time in Bruce Coville’s “The Unicorn Chronicles.” I know if I’d stumbled upon this book as a child, I’d be just as thrilled to encounter it here.

A Walk in Wolf Wood is no Thornyhold (another magical tale by Stewart — for adults) but I imagine 80’s kids were totally charmed by it. 🐺🌚
