“A master storyteller, de Lint blends Celtic, Native American, and other cultures into a seamless mythology that resonates with magic and truth.” —Library Journal
“Charles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legend–all of it adds up to pure magic in de lint’s vivid, original world. No one does it better.” —Alice Hoffman
“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 The Onion Girl
“What makes de Lint’s particular brand of fantasy so catchy is his attention to the ordinary. Like great writers of magic realism, he writes about people in the world we know, encountering magic as part of that world. ” —Booklist
“In the fictional city of Newford, replete with the brutal realities of modern urban life, de Lint’s characters encounter magic in strange and unexpected places…. 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 Dreams Underfoot
“De Lint is a master of the modern urban folk tale.” —The Denver Post on The Ivory and the Horn
“Fulfilling and rewarding…. Every story is a discovery.” —Quill & Quire on Tapping the Dream Tree
