He brings forth a realm in which not many venture into. The Fantasy world.

“He’s a classic storyteller with a tremendously broad appeal. Readers who don’t know him would, I think, be surprised at how much they would like his work. I’m hoping some of those readers turn up.”

Even in this year of 2009 he has relased atleast 6 books titled: Muse and Reverie, Eyes like Leaves, Medicine Road, The Mystery of Grace, The Onion Girl, Woods and waters Wild.


"Wolf Moon is an old favorite of mine. I remember at the time I started to work on it that I wanted to write a small story in a high fantasy setting. Worlds didn't need to be saved. The characters weren't required to go on arduous quests. But the events of the story would still have great import upon the characters because that's the way of the world. The large events that move and shake nations certainly interest us and impact upon our lives, but for most of us, the bigger stories revolve around ourselves and our circle of friends and family. I didn't see why it should be any different for the characters in a high fantasy secondary world. "

"Wolf Moon is one of the rarest of Charles de Lint's novels, first published over a decade ago as a paperback, and out of print since. We're proud to be publishing the first hardcover edition of this rare fantasy, bound in full-cloth, with a full-color wraparound dustjacket."

^- proof that Charle's book and his writing style are wonderful contributions of Canadian Literature.
