'Striking a perfect balance between myth and psychosocial realism,
this is a beautifully written debut' Guardian 'Recalls M. R. James
at his nastiest' Telegraph Eshwood Hall is a great English house
surrounded by sprawling woods. In 1962, Izzy is thirteen, lives in
the servants quarters and doesn't go to school. Neglected by her
parents, she spends her moments of freedom exploring the forest and
the village beyond. The more she comes to understand the history of
the place and her own situation, the stranger are the things she
hears and sees. The most tantalising of these is the Green Man who
inhabits the woods, and seems to know all about her, even those
desires she has buried deep inside. A family story rooted in folk
tale, The Green Man of Eshwood Hall shows us the power that the
wild still holds on our imagination, and the shocking nightmares to
which it can give rise.
