Reviews
From The Phoenix Gazette, January 1990:
For those who have grown weary of the constant deluge of spiritless fantasy glutting bookstores, de Lint offers a refreshing change of pace one that is sure to delight even the most jaded reader with its charm.

From Booklist, American Library Assn., January 1988:
…de Lint is probably the finest contemporary author of fantasy; his command of language, use of setting, development of characters, and working out of systems of magic for emotional impact make this a distinctly superior work.

From Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact:
There can be no doubt: Charles de Lint is one of Canada's modern masters of fantasy.
