3.0 out of 5 stars love of nature, April 8, 2003

This review is from: The Man Whom the Trees Loved (Hardcover)

this is a story about a man with a special form of contact with the woods. that's it, actually. supernatural, not horror. good descriptions. B. is always great at decribing nature and it's lure, and how man is drawn to it. but nothing much happens, and some of the dialogue is unnecessary. (the story is actually a short story)

I've enjoyed Algernon Blackwood stories for a long time. This is one of my favorites. Re-reading it on my Kindle was a wonderful experience. His writing style is easy-going, and he allows the reader to "see" into the characters. The descriptions of the forests and trees were spooky, and the interaction between the main characters was so poignant. Not a long story, but one you will remember.
