A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR_______________’A work of extraordinary ambition, brilliantly realised’ OBSERVER’A mesmerising journey down the byways of English folklore’ MAIL ON SUNDAY’Verbally dextrous, inventive, and hugely entertaining’ THE TIMES_______________Herne the hunter, mischief-maker, spirit of the forest, leader of the wild hunt, hurtles through the centuries pursued by his creator.A shapeshifter, Herne dons many guises as he slips and ripples through time at candlelit Twelfth Night revels, at the spectacular burning of the Crystal Palace, at an acid-laced Sixties party.
