I have heard a lot about de Lint and have to say that I think this book would be the place to start for me. I like the fact that they are short stories because I can better get a feel of the writing style and because, frankly, you make them sound tremendously interesting! Thanks for this review, it's been added to my wish list! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Keeping the Feast: One Couple's Story of Love, Food and Healing in Italy by Paula Butturini - 272 pgs =-.

My fave de Lint is The Little Country, but it’s not a Newford.

I have only had one experience with De Lint and that was also with The Onion Girl (which I loved). I am hoping to read more of his work in the future. Thanks for the great review! .-= Allie´s last blog ..Book 21: Favorite Passages. =-.

I'm not big on short stories, but I've become a fan of urban fantasy. I like the idea the stories int his one are interconnected, so you have time to get to know the place and the characters. I'll put it on my radar, but I have a ton of others to read first. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Spotlight On . . . Judith Moffett =-.

I rarely read this genre at all. But I do like reading short stories! .-= veens´s last blog ..Shorty Talks: The Tower Room by Nicola Slade =-.

I haven't read anything by this author. Thanks for sharing As I gather from your review, you are not too fond of short stories either, but these sound appealing to me. .-= Wisteria Leigh´s last blog ..Wondrous Words Wednesday. =-.

The only de Lint book I've read is Onion Girl, and to be honest I don't remember liking it that much. You know who's a de Lint expert? harmony0stars on twitter! .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Interview with Chloe Neill + Giveaway =-.

The only Newford book I’ve read so far was The Onion Girl, which didn’t quite work for me because I felt I was missing so much of the backstory. I must try the short stories too.

Now I might like this kind of fantasy! I haven’t read much urban fantasy so I can’t give you any suggestions.

Sorry I can’t help you b/c I’m not familiar with this writer. I am going now to look at his books though! Great review.
