The Hollowing
''The Hollowing'' is the third fantasy novel of the ''Mythago Wood'' series written by Robert Holdstock. It was originally published in 1993. The title refers to a magical pathway, or hollowing, an archaic English term for a sunken lane or hollow-way. ''The Hollowing'' was inspired by the story ''Sir Gawain and the Green Knight''.〔Langford, David ''Supernatural Fiction Writers, Second Edition, Volume 1'', ed. Richard Bleiler (New York, NY: Charles Scribner's Sons, 2003), pages 448-453.〕
Despite primarily featuring new characters, ''The Hollowing'' is a sequel to ''Lavondyss'' because a handful of characters provide a link between the two novels. The events in the previous novel set into motion the events that drive the actions of the protagonist in ''The Hollowing''. Reading the novels ''Mythago Wood'' and ''Lavondyss'' will illuminate ''The Hollowing'' for first time readers. Reading the Wikipedia article on ''Mythago Wood'' will help in understanding issues and terminology in this article.
==Plot introduction==
''The Hollowing'' shares the third person narrative viewpoint as does its predecessor, ''Lavondyss.'' The narrative begins in the 1950s, merely one year after the events that take place in ''Lavondyss,'' but the majority of the story takes place in 1968. Inside Ryhope wood, Tallis Keeton's young friend, Alex Bradley, remains an adolescent when he would otherwise be twenty years old. This is possible because the rate of time inside the wood is not synchronized with the rate of time outside the wood. The story's protagonist is Alex's father, Richard Bradley. Richard is on a quest to locate his lost son in the wood, a very dangerous task because Alex’s overactive imagination generates mythagos dangerous to both himself and others.
