a perfect urban faerie tale

de lint writes people so well. while staying within the rules of faerie tale logic he managed to present theee dimensional characters. a rare talent.

One of the original urban fantasies

I read this when it was first published, and so did my kids. Now, it's in audio and very satisfying to listen to. There's evil and terror and joy and good.

One of may all time favorite

This title from Charles de Lint casts a web of mystery and always delights.

Great fairy adventure!!

Love the heroines courage and all the characters that support he journey! Very very magical!

A fine urban fantasy.

The story moved along very well. I did get confused between the reading of Jackie’s role and her friend.
