Review: Emily Tesh’s Silver in the Wood is a Green Man story, a little bit fairy tale and a whole lot of magic wrapped up in a writing style that flows like poetry off the page.


Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past-both the green magic of the woods, and the dark things that rest in its heart. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes.

Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads. At a Glance: Emily Tesh’s Silver in the Wood is a Green Man story, a little bit fairy tale and a whole lot of magic wrapped up in a writing style that flows like poetry off the page, and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that it left me a bit heart-heavy too.īlurb: There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood.
