    About this ebook

    This Novella tells the story of Matt and Sylvia, two people with sadness in their past who meet by chance and set out on a quest to discover the true meaning of the Wodewose. Like Bigfoot or the Yeti in other parts of the world, the Wodewose is a European Wildman of the woods. It also happens to be Sylvia’s surname.

    Through English coastal churches, English and American genealogy, the literature of mythology and finally the great forests of Germany, the pair discover truths about the Wodewose, about life and death and moving on and eventually about human needs and love.
