This was an excellent collection of stories by Charles de Lint. De Lint was one of my favorite authors many years ago and I am not sure why I stopped reading him. This collection of stories really brings home all the things I loved about de Lint; he is just such a creative storyteller and excellent writer.
The first few stories were about Meran and her husband Ceran and the bodachs that make mischief in their lives. These were fun and entertaining to read. These stories were followed by a number of stories featuring Jilly Coppercorn and Geordie; I always love these stories a lot as well.
A couple of my favorites were: âMerlin Dreams in the Mondream Woodâ (about a woman who visits Merlin while he is trapped in a tree) and âThe Graceless Childâ about a young half-trow girl who saves the world of Dream.
Overall this was an amazing collection of stories by de Lint. He was one of my favorite authors when I was in my 20's and reading this makes me wonder why I haven't read him in a long time. De Lint is an amazing storyteller and the author that introduced me to urban fantasy. I highly recommend this collection of stories they are just so well done.
