It's not fantasy in the sense of Tolkien or Robert Jordon. There are no high courts of kings and queens with magical beings doing their bidding. De Lint's books are what's called "urban fantasy." They take place in our modern society with fantastical elements intruding on people's everyday life. Neil Gaiman is similar but a little darker. Check them out. It never hurts to try. My fave of CHarles De Lint is Someplace To Be Flying and my fave of Neil Gaiman is American Gods.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947618516813817972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778437374573423765.post-12484065259274415292009-01-20T19:09:00.000-08:002009-01-20T19:09:00.000-08:00Hmmm - I have discovered that I am totally not int...Hmmm - I have discovered that I am totally not into the fantasy genre. I have no idea why the interest isn't there as I loved it when I was a kid. Are this author's books all fantasy? I do love music and am intrigued by how he incorporated it into his work as you say.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778437374573423765.post-84979694291005857062009-01-20T18:41:00.000-08:002009-01-20T18:41:00.000-08:00De Lint's books generally have music as an importa...De Lint's books generally have music as an important role. It's often like another character in the books. This is wonderful to me as a musician and music therapist.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947618516813817972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778437374573423765.post-65221539730902750032009-01-20T15:22:00.000-08:002009-01-20T15:22:00.000-08:00The last teaser I read seemed to be without music ...The last teaser I read seemed to be without music - and this one can picture much music!<BR/><BR/>My teaser is here: http://booksandneedlepoint.blogspot.com/2009/01/teaser-tuesday-1-20-2009.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778437374573423765.post-65741680129976268842009-01-20T11:51:00.000-08:002009-01-20T11:51:00.000-08:00Ahhh, the power of music.
