Reading: Silver in the Wood

Emily Tesh's novella Silver in the Wood is an utterly delightful m/m romance between a Green Man and a young folklorist who comes to investigate his wood, featuring dryads, malignant revenant spirits and a Middle Aged Woman Who Takes No Shit. It's short (only 112 pages, and I read it in a couple of hours), but beautifully written, with a wonderfully evoked forest setting and mythological background; it's also very gentle and full of kindness and entirely charming, and I adored it.

There is a sequel due out in June, which I have pre-ordered and am very much looking forward to.
