Sequel to MYTHAGO WOOD (1984). SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.

''it's sequel (to Mythago Wood) is Lavondyss: Journey to an Unknown Region (1988), which only increases the intensity of the cooperation between rational discourse and Sehnsucht (a term C.S. Lewis employed to describe the melancholy longing for ''something that has never actually appeared in our experience'', and by which he meant to designate the impulse behind certain kinds of fantasy). The longing of the protagonists of Lavondyss to enter the ''unknown region'' where archetypes shape themselves into the human story is absolute, and it gives the book much of its potency as an explication of mythopoeisis'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
