''The Bone Forest'' is a book opening with a novella of the same name followed by seven short stories. All were written by Robert Holdstock and published in 1991 (UK) and 1992 (US). This novella is a prequel to the entire ''Mythago Wood'' cycle. According to the author it was written "to fill in the background and back-story to ''Mythago Wood''" at the request of a screenwriter who was working on a planned movie version of ''Mythago Wood.''〔Holdstock, Robert ''Merlin's Wood'', (London: Gollancz, 2009), page 451.〕 The 1991 and 1992 editions of the book contain seven short stories in addition to the novella ''The Bone Forest.'', after which the volume takes its name. The additional stories in ''The Bone Forest'' bear little relation with either time or events in the ''Mythago Wood'' cycle, yet the short stories are largely influenced by the fantasy realm created as part of the ''Mythago Wood'' cycle.〔''The Encyclopedia of Fantasy'', eds. John Clute and John Grant (New York, NY: St. Martin's Press, 1997), page 475.〕 ''The Bone Forest'' has both won and been nominated for fantasy literature awards. ==Contents== The 1991 and 1992 versions of ''The Bone Forest'' start with one novella and are followed by seven short tales. #The Bone Forest #Thorn #The Shapechanger #The Boy who Jumped the Rapids #Time of the Tree #Magic Man #Scarrowfell #The Time Beyond Age 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bone Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
