Tapping the Dream Tree: New Tales of Newford

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. Were reunited with Jilly Geordie Sophie the Crow Girls and other characters whose lives have become part of the great Newford myth. And beyond Newfords streets de Lint takes us to the pastoral hills north of the city where magic and music have a flavor different but powerful still.
