	Forests of the Heart by Charles de Lint
		Charles de Lint's Newford is a fictional Canadian city in which the gritty realities of modern urban life rub up constantly against myth, magic, and the visible manifestations of the spirit world.
		Nevertheless, de Lint's latest offers us a broad assemblage of his representative virtues, chief of which is the overriding sense of decency that animates this book.
		de Lint's bedrock belief in the importance of community, in the sacred properties of art, and in the absolute necessity of kindness and generosity give the best of his work a welcoming, morally attractive quality that lifts it well above the level of most traditional fantasies.

	Charles de Lint Spirits in the Wires Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		De Lint doesn't linger but he doesn't shy away from the technological aspects of his fantasy; the balance is just right.
		De Lint's characters are the source of the weird and wonderful twists of reality that infect his imagined suburbs.
		De Lint's meld of fantasy and cybernetic tropes is more believable and compelling than the usual cyber-voodoo that SF writers tend to sling.

	The Eternal Review of Books
		De Lint blurs the borders of the material and the magical, showing how the two may exist in close proximity while remaining, on some level, utterly distinct.
		If de Lint has a major weakness, it is with the banality of his paganism, which tends to lend his work a superficiality that stands in unfortunate contrast with his technical skill and sensitivity.
		I can't help feeling that I know the girl about whom de Lint keeps writing, she's a bit of an outsider and a nature-lover, has a tenuous connection to the modern world and is more than a little bit afraid of both men and traditional religion.

	Charles de Lint, Wolf Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In Wolf Moon, one of de Lint's earlier novels and a rare excursion for him into high fantasy, the harper Tuiloch is the fl-hearted evil.
		De Lint initially does the same, introducing a remote farmer only to make him an immediate victim of the harper's violence, a senseless murder blamed on the werewolf.
		But de Lint isn't content to rely solely on such timeworn cliches, instead turning the harper's violent nature against the inn and its inhabitants, leaving shocking death and rape in its wake.

	Charles de Lint, Memory & Dream (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		De Lint refuses to clue the reader in one significant past events -- such as the death of Katharine Mully -- instead doling out piecemeal fragments of the story indirectly, colored by Isabelle's perceptions.
		Which is fine for mainstream fiction, but de Lint readers expect a healthy dose of the fantastic to go with their prose.
		Fans of de Lint's short fiction will no doubt find this novel to their liking, and de Lint stocks the supporting cast with his usual on-the-fringes-of-society artistic types, including the popular Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie Riddell.

		Charles de Lint dedicates The Little Country to "...all those traditional musicians who, wittingly or unwittingly, but with great good skill, still seek to recapture that first music." A traditional Celtic musician himself, de Lint has peopled The Little Country with musicians and filled it with music.
		One of the joys of all of Charles de Lint's stories is their strong sense of place.
		De Lint uses not only vivid description, but local color and cultural allusions--both real and imaginary--to paint a vibrant backdrop for his tales.

		Charles de Lint, The Ivory and the Horn
		Although many of the stories touch on issues that de Lint feels strongly about (child abuse and family seem to be two of the most frequent), none are redundant.
		De Lint's strength lies in his ability to match the inner needs of his characters to the archetypes represented by his mythical characters; each character's struggle manifests itself as a representation of magic or myth.

	Review of Charles de Lint's Dreams Underfoot
		De Lint also manages to keep each new Newford story fresh and captivating because he is so generous and loving in his depiction of the characters.
		De Lint brings closure to this particular painful memory of Geordie's in "Paperjack," which is the second last story of this collection.
		De Lint uses a clever mix of realism, in his effective characterization, and fantasy, where a skewed version of reality lets the story reflect something about human nature.

	Amazon.com: Yarrow: Books: Charles de Lint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		De lint has a darkness in some of his best books, I'm not horror fan but his works have just enough magic and beauty to not read like a horror book.
		What De Lint does when he is truly inspired can only be called true magic...if you want that kind fo magic read this, Moonheart and Memory and Dream...but be warned they are not for children nor readers who do not like some truly, deeply, dark evil in their books.
		De Lint came quite recommended by those promoting urban fantasy as an alternative to the Tolkienesque, but in truth, this came as quite a disappointment.

	Raven's Reviews: Charles de Lint
		Charles de Lint writes urban fantasy, with varying degrees of emphasis on either or both of those words depending on the book or story.
		De Lint draws on Celtic and British legends as well as Native American ones, and skillfully blends them all into a fabric of modern North American otherworldliness.
		De Lint's talent for portraying the reactions of humanity to the realization that we're not living in the simple world we're used to shines through again, as more and more people get drawn into the animosity between the corbae and the canidae.

		Charles de Lint's urban fantasies, including Moonheart, Forests of the Heart, and The Onion Girl, have earned him a devoted following and critical acclaim as a master of contemporary magical fiction.
		Although his first novel was 1984's The Riddle of the Wren, it was with Moonheart, published later that same year, that de Lint made his mark, and established him at the forefront of "urban fantasy," modern fantasy storytelling set on contemporary city streets.
		Moonheart was set in and around "Newford," an imaginary modern North American city, and many of de Lint's subsequent novels have been set in Newford as well, with a growing cast of characters who weave their way in and out of the stories.

		"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.
		If de Lint's work were itself a piece of music, then the principle instruments on display would be Uillean pipes and electric guitars, with each paragraph an amalgam of the mythical and the commonplace, the traditional and the innovative."
		"De Lint is a master at world building, at creating the apt image, and at making grippingly suspenseful a story in which the fate of the characters may have no cosmic significance but is vitally important to them and their closest friends.

		Yet in the author's note, de Lint is quick to point out that these stories are not stories written for young adults, but rather stories written about young adults.
		At the center of almost every de Lint story is the "outsider," the character relegated to the edges.
		De Lint treats these characters -- and his audience -- with care, compassion, good humor and the reassurance that there is a place for everyone.
