Reviews"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 Moonlight and Vines "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 on The Onion Girl "De Lint is a romantic, a believer in human potential, and his fiction is populated not only with creatures of myth, but with artists and social workers, musicians and runaways, all creating intentional communities based on hope and dreams and mutual belief in the magic of the world around us. To read de Lint is to fall under the spell of a master storyteller, to be reminded of the greatness of life, of the beauty and majesty lurking in shadows and empty doorways." -- Quill and Quire on Forests of the Heart "De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious." -- Toronto Globe and Mail on Trader "One of the world's leading fantasists." --Toronto Star on Charles de Lint, De Lint is a romantic; he believes in... the power of... fiction-to open our eyes to a larger world., "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 Moonlight and Vines "What makes de Lint's particular brand of fantasy so catchy is his attention to the ordinary.
