The Very Best of Charles de Lint

A Loving Collaboration between Charles de Lint and his fans, this extraordinary collection celebrates the finest stories of the pioneer of urban fantasy and creator of the mythical city of Newford. Asked to suggest their own favorite stories for inclusion, de Lint's readers were instrumental in creating this timeless treasury. 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.
