Charles de Lint Livres

Now in trade paperback, one of the classics of Charles de Lint's "Newford" sequence

Welcome to Newford... Welcome to the music clubs, the waterfront, the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and wild and the poor and the lost. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the grey harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song. Like Mark Helprin's A Winter's Tale and John Crowley's Little, Big, Dreams Underfoot is a must-read book not only for fans of urban fantasy, but for all who seek magic in everyday life.

In the Old Country, the Gentry are ancient, magical spirits of the land, amoral and dangerous. When the Irish emigrated to North America, some Gentry followed but found the New World inhabited by its own spirits, known as manitou among Native tribes. Generations later, the Irish have settled, yet the Gentry remain homeless, lurking in city shadows, dreaming of power. As their ambitions grow darker, they manifest as men in black to those who can see them. Bettina, part Indian and part Mexican, has been raised by her grandmother to understand the spirit world. Living in Kellygnow, an arts colony in Newford, she often observes these dark figures, whom she calls los lobos, until one night, one follows her into the woods. Ellie, an independent sculptor with magic in her blood, also sees the dark men but refuses to acknowledge it. Summoned to Kellygnow by a strange old woman, she must create a mask based on an ancient Celtic artifact—the mythic Summer King—despite her disbelief. Her former lover, Donal, knows the truth of the old myths and aims to exploit the mask and the Gentry. Meanwhile, Donal's sister Miki, a punk accordion player, realizes that more than her brother's soul is at stake, as the very fabric of Newford is threatened. Charles de Lint masterfully intertwines diverse mythic traditions, folklore, and memorable characters in a contemporary urban setting.

In novel after novel, and story after story, Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning. At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips--Jilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now. "I'm the onion girl," Jilly Coppercorn says. "Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl." She's very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop.

Sweeping from ancient Wales to the streets of Ottawa today ... a tale of music, and motorcycles, and fey folk beyond the shadows of the moon"--Publisher's description

Not far from the city there is an ancient wood, forgotten by the modern world, where Mystery walks in the moonlight.

He is chased by the hunt and shadowed by the wild girl.

Though the Emerald Isle is no stranger to tales of the fantastic (everything from the Hound Cuchlain to Darby O'Gill and his leprachaun friends), most of the fantasy works dealing with Ireland have limited themselves to either ancient history/Celtic legends and lore, sentimental tales of wee folk, or ghostly tales of hauntings in old deserted castles. Needless to say, there is more to the history and culture of Ireland than the sort of entertainment fare popularized each year around March 17th.Fantastic Irish Tales will present the entire cavalcade of Eire from its earliest beginnings right up to the current climate that has begotten such popular phenomenons as the rock band U2 and the novels of Roddy Doyle as the backdrop for a collection of all new stories of the fantastic.Given the huge success of such books as How the Irish Saved Civilization , and Irish themed novels by such authors as Leon Uris, Roddy Doyle, and Thomas Flanagan, there is no doubt to the widespread appeal of this book.Ideal to any fan of Irish books and perfectly timed for the Saint Patrick's Day season, Fantastic Irish Tales will be a collection to be treasured and enjoyed.
