It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth." --"The ""Phoenix"" Gazette" "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" "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" |
