  • Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn was originally published in the US in 1997 (and in the UK under the title Gate of Ivory in 1998. ) It was written by the award winning author Robert Holdstock. The story is a prequel to Mythago Wood and explores the Christian Huxley's quest into Ryhope Wood and the apparent suicide of his mother, Jennifer Huxley. The title of the book is a clear reference to the gates of horn and ivory described in both Homer's Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid. The tale The Cattle Raid of Cooley was an inspiration according to the author. David Langford, an author, editor and literary critic, points out that the multitude of impossible tasks placed before one of the main characters is based on the Mabinogion's incomplete tale of Culhwch and Olwen. Reading the novel Mythago Wood and the novella The Bone Forest will illuminate Gate of Ivory, Gate of Horn for first time readers. Reading the Wikipedia article on Mythago Wood will help in understanding issues and terminology in this article.
