Reviews

Praise for Charles de Lint

"In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth."
--"The Phoenix Gazette" on Charles de Lint

"De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in that last), but he also believes in the power of magic--or at least the magic of fiction--to open our eyes to a larger world."
"--Edmonton Journal "on Charles de Lint

"A master storyteller Blends Celtic, Native American, and other cultures into a seamless mythology that resonates with magic and truth."
--"Library Journal "on "The Onion Girl"

"Like great writers of magic realism, De Lint writes about people in the world we know, encountering magic as part of that world."
--"Booklist" on "Spirits in the Wires"
