Robert Holdstock is een Engelse romanschrijver, voornamelijk gevierd om zijn bijdragen aan de fantasy literatuur, vaak binnen het subgenre van de mythische fictie. Zijn werk, waarvan de publicatie begon in 1968, duikt in diepgaande filosofische, psychologische, antropologische, spirituele en bosgerelateerde thema's. Door zijn onderscheidende vertelstem en fantasierijke wereldcreatie nodigt Holdstock lezers uit tot meeslepende ervaringen die aanzetten tot nadenken over het bestaan en de natuurlijke wereld.
