Welcome to Charles de Lint's first collection of Newford stories. Immerse yourself in his gritty fictional city--as much a character as Jilly who paints fey wonders, fiddle player Geordie seeking his stolen beloved, the conjure man and his Tree of Tales, or Paperjack revealing fortunes. Meet Gemmins who live in abandoned cars and Katrina, a mermaid so entranced by love that she's left the cold dark water to walk in the moonlight.
