Title
Tapping the Dream Tree: New Tales of Newford - Paperback
by Charles De Lint (Author)
World Fantasy Award-winning author of The Onion Girl
The city of Newford could be any contemporary North American city...except that magic lurks in its music, in its art, in the shadows of its grittiest streets, where mythic beings walk disguised. And its people are like you and me, each looking for a bit of magic to shape their lives and transform their fate. Here are a bluesman hiding from the devil; a Buffalo Man at the edge of death; a murderous ghost looking for revenge; a wolf man on his first blind date; and many more. We're reunited with Jilly, Geordie, Sophie, the Crow Girls, and other characters whose lives have become part of the great Newford myth. And beyond Newford's streets, de Lint takes us to the pastoral hills north of the city, where magic and music have a flavor different but powerful still.Front Jacket

Triumphant! -Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Onion Girl De Lint is a romantic; he believes in the great things, faith, hope, and charity (especially if love is included in that 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 De Lint is a master of the modern urban folktale. -The Denver Post A master storyteller, De Lint blends Celtic, Native American, and other cultures into a seamless mythology that resonates with magic and truth.-Library Journal What makes De Lint's particular brand of fantasy so catchy is his attention to the ordinary. Like great writers of magic realism, he writes about people in the world we know, encountering magic as part of that world. -BooklistBack Jacket
