"In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something more than escapism. It becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth." --The Phoenix Gazette
"It is hard to imagine urban fantasy done better than it is by de Lint at his best, and this book shows his imagination and craft at their highest levels. . . . Deserves the highest recommendation and the widest readership." --Booklist on Memory and Dream
"A novel of scope and ambition . . . The glamour and wonder of his earliest novels has matured into a book of sophisticated and human concern." --Science Fiction Age on Memory and Dream

"Charles de Lint is a master of contemporary fantasy and nowhere is that more apparent than here ... A pleasure to read." --KLIATT on Memory and Dream
"[De Lint] moves gracefully through the borders between reality and imagination, weaving a powerful tale about the relationship between an artist and her work. A strong addition to fantasy collections." --Library Journal on Memory and Dream
"A novel of scope and ambition . . . The glamour and wonder of his earliest novels has matured into a book of sophisticated and human concern." --Science Fiction Age on Memory and Dream
"De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious." --Toronto Globe and Mail
