delighted."

residents, Promises to Keep provides a lovely glimpse into their
past, and how they came to know one another. Readers new to de
Lint's work will find this book an easy introduction to the magical

Dringenberg, well-known for his work on Neil Gaiman's Sandman."

de Lint returns to the early days of one of his most beloved

that is Newford."

their fantasy, but with a more than a touch of the magical."
