While not all of the stories here will appeal to all of the book's readers, they are bound to fine some that captivate them. Strongly recommended. ( ) Every collection of Charles' short stories is full of gems, but thus far this is the one that I like best. The selection of stories was chosen in tandem with loyal fans through social media (way to jump on the technology/social media bandwagon!), which I find quite endearing as many authors don't maintain close contact with their fan base. Especially when it comes to publishing! The stories that are included showcase the range of Charles' writing style, and include classic Newford tales, traditional Isles-style fantasy, and a touch of horror as well. Many of the stories are also ones that were initially published as super-limited editions by Triskell press, and are unavailable unless you can get your hands on a copy of Triskell Tales 1/2 (both long out of print) or are the lucky recipient of one of the original Christmas stories. Not only has Charles made it very clear how much his fans mean to him by including many of their favourite stories, but he has also inadvertantly addressed one of the major issues with his published works: availability. Obviously Charles will keep producing amazing work, but I would be extremely happy to see some of his older books be re-issued so that my collection isn't so full of holes! This was an excellent collection of stories by Charles de Lint. De Lint was one of my favorite authors many years ago and I am not sure why I stopped reading him. This collection of stories really brings home all the things I loved about de Lint; he is just such a creative storyteller and excellent writer. The first few stories were about Meran and her husband Ceran and the bodachs that make mischief in their lives. These were fun and entertaining to read. These stories were followed by a number of stories featuring Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie; I always love these stories a lot as well. A couple of my favorites were: “Merlin Dreams in the Mondream Wood” (about a woman who visits Merlin while he is trapped in a tree) and “The Graceless Child” about a young half-trow girl who saves the world of Dream. Overall this was an amazing collection of stories by de Lint. He was one of my favorite authors when I was in my 20's and reading this makes me wonder why I haven't read him in a long time. De Lint is an amazing storyteller and the author that introduced me to urban fantasy. I highly recommend this collection of stories they are just so well done. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"These retold fairy tales and modern myths redefine magic through de Lint's enchanted characters: playful Crow Girls sneaking into the homes of their sleeping neighbors; a graffiti artist risking everything to expose a long-standing conspiracy; a half-human girl choosing between her village and her strange birthright; and an unrepentant trickster throwing one last party in his folkloric tradition" --Cover, p. 4.
