Come on ? Who hasnt heard of Charles De Lint?

hes fantastic!

If you like mystery, magic, action and art, wrapped up in one

read him.

He has a collection of short stories and some full blown novels too.

The Ivory and the Horn - SHORT

The Little Country - Irish and includes music
Memory and Dream - My personal favourite Art and numena which you will understand if you read it.

Trader - another novel by him

Yarrow

Into the Green

I highly recomend them...

Very Happy

Extract from Clancy and the Overflow, by A.B. Patterson.
Ironically he never actually went outside of a city his entire life, let alone Droving. phht. Henry Lawson was much more acurate, he didnt romanticise the Aussie bush.

I've read Moonheart. The Harp of the Grey Rose, Wolf Moon, Waifs and Strays, The Riddle of the Wren, and I have Widdershins by him. He is frickin' amazing!!! I've also read some of his short stories.

By the way, it's Charles de Lint like washingmachine lint. Wink

You spelled it "lindt" in the title. I really want to read more of his stuff. Smile
