To quote his readers: His stories are good for the heart and soulhe reminds you of hope and strength and Beauty and Grace that you may have forgotten.Just as Charles de Lints pen drips magic and enchantment, he is also never afraid to write about the darker and painful side of life, and he writes it in a way that moves you.

Even more, I can assure you, you wont be the same person when you are done with it: de Lint will have changed you with his magic.Reviews:Contemporary fantasist de Lint built this winning compilation with help from his readers, who voted on their favorite stories. The result is an outstanding and widely varied collection of 29 tales. The delightfully light-hearted Pixel Pixies adds magic and mischief to innocent online interactions. (If youre lucky, the pixies are still on the Internet and didnt follow you home.) Merlin Dreams in the Mondream Wood investigates the nature and meaning of memories. The heart-wrenching In the House of My Enemy, later developed into the novel The Onion Girl, narrates the decisions made by a pregnant girl with an abusive past. Longtime fans and newcomers alike will fall in love with de Lints graceful, poetic language and characters like an old man who wore the shape of a red-haired boy with crackernut eyes that seemed as bright as salmon tails glinting up the water.Publishers WeeklyWhen it comes to urban waifs and strays, Ottawa fantasy writer Charles de Lint has his own unusual take, creating in his fiction a fantastic world populated by artists, musicians, booksellers, scholars, runaways and, well, magic. With The Very Best of Charles de Lint, the author, who is also a musician, has created a greatest-hits set with a twist. To determine which stories to include (from a body of work spanning 25 years), he asked his fans for their favourites via Facebook and Twitter. The resulting volume is more than 400 pages of the finest urban fantasy fiction of the past three decades, characterized by de Lints deep and passionate humanism.Robert Wiersema, National PostThere are a number of stories herequite an impressive number of themthat are simply perfect. By that, I mean that they hit the mark theyve aimed at. (And de Lint never aims low.) Theyve achieved the intended effect. An artistic balance has been achieved between lyricism and clarity of language, consistent and well-developed characterisation that propel the plot at a good pace, and the elements of myth dosed out carefully enough that they retain the elements of mystery. And its easy to miss that exquisite feat of craft in sheer enjoyment of the story, and the set of feelings the author has evoked. And that, my friends, is storytelling at its best.Green Man ReviewCharles de Lint was writing Urban Fantasy before that genre was infiltrated by vampires and gritty streets. His Urban Fantasy introduces a magical realism to the world, spirit magic seeping into the cement environments mankind has built and most of the stories selected for this volume reflect that interest.Steven H. Silver, The SF SiteDe Lint is prolific, and if youve resisted picking him up because youre not sure where to start, this is an excellent way to get a feel for his polished prose, his deep empathy for his own characters, and a wondrous world that may be filled with danger but is no less beautiful because of that.Mark Rose, BookGasmOne of the most original fantasy writers currently working.BooklistCharles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legendall of it adds up to pure magic in de Lints vivid, original world. No one does it better.Alice HoffmanDe Lint creates an entirely organic mythology that seems as real as the folklore from which it draws.Publishers Weekly, starred reviewCharles de Lint is an impossibly, ridiculously talented sort of manand Ive been reading him for so long that he pretty much crafted my own ideas of what a fairy tale ought to be.Cherie PriestCharles de Lint is a folksinger as well as a writer and it is this voice we hearboth old and new, lyric, longing, touched by magic.Jane YolenHe shows that, far from being escapism, contemporary fantasy can be the deep mythic literature of our time.Fantasy & Science FictionYou open a de Lint story, and like the interior of a very genial Pandoras box, the atmosphere is suddenly full of deep woods and quaint city streets and a magic thats nowhere near so far removed as Middle Earth.James P. BlaylockDe 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 magicor at least the magic of fictionto open our eyes to a larger world.Edmonton JournalIts hard not to feel encouraged to be a better person after reading a book by Ottawas Charles de Lint.Halifax Chronicle Herald9780920623459_Triskell Presslibro_electonico_b902d328-0973-3135-80a2-820b5a97e6e0_9780920623459;9780920623459_9780920623459Charles deInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/d7dc0b00-ea73-448c-8242-75bd3b6302e6-epub-ba8b0ed9-d2bc-4ed5-98e1-f6ad832ce3e7.epub2015-04-24T00:00:00+00:00Triskell Press
