And its people are like you and me, each looking for a bit of magic to shape their lives and transform their fate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere are a bluesman hiding from the devil; a Buffalo Man at the edge of death; a murderous ghost looking for revenge; a wolf man on his first blind date; and many more. We're reunited with Jilly, Geordie, Sophie, the Crow Girls, and other characters whose lives have become part of the great Newford myth. And beyond Newford's streets, de Lint takes us to the pastoral hills north of the city, where magic and music have a flavor different but powerful still.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePraise for Charles De Lint \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTriumphant! -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review) on \u003ci\u003eThe Onion Girl\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDe 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. -\u003ci\u003eEdmonton Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDe Lint is a master of the modern urban folktale. -\u003ci\u003eThe Denver Post\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA master storyteller, De Lint blends Celtic, Native American, and other cultures into a seamless mythology that resonates with magic and truth.-\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat makes De Lint's particular brand of fantasy so catchy is his attention to the ordinary.
