De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in the 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 <br><br> De Lint is a master of the modern urban folktale. -- The Denver Post <br><br> In De Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth. -- The Phoenix Gazette <br><br> De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious. -- Toronto Globe and Mail <br>
