About this title

Synopsis

Originally published by Macmillan in 1998. Hank Walker sees photographer Lily Carson being brutally attacked. Lily confesses that she came out "looking for animal people" that exist in the city. Kerry Madan arrives in the city and becomes the catalyst in a drama for the prize of the Raven's pot, which could affect the animal people and humankind.

Review

"An enthralling blend of old European and Native American mythology, seamlessly worked into a modern setting and situation. De Lint's best so far." --Kirkus Revews on Someplace to Be Flying

"The reader does not have to be strictly a fan of either thrillers or fantasy to thoroughly enjoy this delightful tale." --The Washington Post on Someplace to Be Flying

"De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious. With Someplace To Be Flying he has produced a book that should appeal even to those who, like this reviewer, do not generally care a lot for fantasy." --Toronto Globe and Mail on Someplace to Be Flying

"As page-turning and intelligent as usual for de Lint, who clearly has no equal as an urban fantasist and very few equals among fantasists as a folklorist. First-rate." --Booklist on Someplace to Be Flying
