Synopsis
The Hollowing is the third fantasy novel of the Mythago Wood series written by award winning author Robert Holdstock and was originally published in 1993. The title refers to a magical pathway, or hollowing, an Old English term for a sunken lane or hollow-way. The Hollowing was inspired by the story Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Despite primarily featuring new characters, The Hollowing is a sequel to Lavondyss because a handful of characters provide a link between the two novels.
