Why has this wood remained untamed, while all about has been turned to Man's good use; for play, meditation, the communing with Nature -- what dark space within requires hiding from mortal eye? Do the park caretakers intentionally avoid this wood, unconsciously sensing something unwholesome in its shadows; do they even see this wood?
Legends claim the odd vines sprang from seeds fallen from the Moon: Look for their exploring roots to find safe passage to the wood's secret interior. Within same the intrepid explorer may find the Faraway Tree, the sap of which I'm told may be fermented to create a potent drink. Beware the Zoogs!
