“The Crow Girls and their kind, once seen, are impossible to forget. Wild, but curiously childlike; wise and yet playful; existing outside the confines of conventional morality, and yet bringing hope and clarity to everyone whose lives they touch.” —Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat, from her introduction to this book. Charles de Lint’s readers have been asking him to put together story collections featuring their favourite Newford characters. The crow girls are among his best-loved characters, so de Lint obliged by gathering their stories all under one roof, so to speak. Some other members of the Newford repertory company show up here, but at the forefront of each story are these two little wild girls with their big personalities. This book features an introduction by Joanne Harris and an afterword by the de Lint. Cover art by Tara Larsen Chang (www.taralarsenchang.com). These stories have all been published before. “Crow Girls” is also available in The Very Best of Charles de Lint and in Moonlight and Vines; “Twa Corbies” in Moonlight and Vines; “The Buffalo Man” in Tapping the Dream Tree; and “A Crow Girls’ Christmas” in Muse and Reverie. “Make a Joyful Noise,” published in a limited edition by Subterranean Press, has not appeared in any of his previous collections. "Nobody does urban fantasy better than Charles de Lint. He has a gift for creating engaging, fully realized characters, totally believable dialogue, and a feeling that magic is just around the corner … He can make you believe 'as many as six impossible things before breakfast.' " —Amazon.com Editorial Review "De Lint's elegant prose and effective storytelling continue to transform the mundane into the magical at every turn. Highly recommended." —Library Journal, Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. "In many hands, the urban fantasy plot involving strange beings just around the corner fails dismally. It does not in the hands of the reliable, the inimitable de Lint … —Booklist " de Lint…clearly has no equal as an urban fantasist and very few equals among fantasists as a folklorist." —Booklist Charles de Lint is the modern master of urban fantasy. Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legend—all of it adds up to pure magic in de Lint's vivid, original world. No one does it better. — Alice Hoffman Charles de Lint writes like a magician. He draws out the strange inside our own world, weaving stories that feel more real than we are when we read them. He is, simply put, the best. — Holly Black Unlike most fantasy writers who deal with battles between ultimate good and evil, de Lint concentrates on smaller, very personal conflicts. Perhaps this is what makes him accessible to the non-fantasy audience as well as the hard-core fans. Perhaps it’s just damned fine writing. —Quill & Quire

I do love Newford and its denizens but the Crow Girls are a guaranteed draw. Some of these I had read other places but the perk to this is that you have some very nice Crow Girl stories all in one place. There is also an excerpt from his book Someplace to be Flying and that is one of my favorites. If you get this Kindle book (and you should) you should put STBF next on your list because you will want more of the Crow Girls and Raven all of DeLint's people.

Nice collection, but don't make it your intro to the Newford world of de Lint By Derek Rivard I like Charles de Lint a lot, and the Crow Girls have always been some of my favorite characters from his universe of Newford, the oh-so-desirable city to live in in imaginary Canada. I love de Lint's ability to weave urban into his fantasy in a way that is credible and not cheesy, like fiction based on Shadowrun or similar mixing of faerie with high tech and urban settings. I'd highly recommend this work, but I would also strongly suggest you pick a point to begin reading de Lint's work (mine was the wonderful "Memory and Dream") and then read forward in time, because for some reason he does not read nearly as well in his early works. What becomes familiar moving forward seems cheesy and forced in works like "Yarrow" for example. And also, I limit this review to four stars because as much as I love his work, de Lint has become somewhat predictable in the last 8 years or so. His novels almost all follow a predictable narrative pattern, and sometimes the familiar is welcome, it's just boring or trite or both. Don't start your journey with "The Crow Girls" as it really doesn't stand alone that well without having met them before in their Newford roles. But definitely do read this pleasant short work, you won't regret it.

Now! - Read Crow Girls, in the Before By Sally Adler Well, I put 'some' violence and sexual content, but not like we generally think of it. De Lint often writes, poetically, lovingly, about the struggles of women who were abused as children. So the violence isn't present, isn't graphic, but a young person reading it would need to have an adult help them understand what the pain, and continuing struggles are about. But so worth every word. And the Crow Girls! Oh, the Crow Girls! They are healing embodied, and joy.
