The Devil in a Forest

Hi all, It's been a very, very long time since I've posted anything on here. I haven't even been reading it as much as I probably should so maybe this was discussed in my absence, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone read The Devil in a Forest? What were your thoughts on it? I just finished reading it and looking back over it, it seems very simple compared to Wolfe's other works. Was it one of Wolfe's earlier novels? Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on it. -Steve

I believe Devil was originally published as a work for children. Best, Jim **************************************************** "Justice will take us millions of intricate moves" -- William Stafford, "Thinking for Berky"

I think it was aimed at high school aged children. The religious and political themes anticipate the Severian novels. Nutria
