<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in trade paperback, one of the classics of Charles de Lint's Newford sequence that infuses modern urban life with ancient myths and mysteries; with the magic of art, friendship, and the vibrant rhythms of music.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Lily is a photojournalist in search of the animal people who supposedly haunt the city's darkest slums. Hank is a slumdweller who knows the bad streets all too well. One night, in a brutal incident, their two lives collide--uptown Lily and downtown Hank, each with a quest and a role to play in the secret drama of the city's oldest inhabitants. <p/>For the animal people walk among us. Native Americans call them the First People, but they have never left, and they claim the city for their own. <p/>Not only have Hank and Lily stumbled onto a secret, they've stumbled into a war. And in this battle for the city's soul, nothing is quite as it appears.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An enthralling blend of old European and Native American mythology, seamlessly worked into a modern setting and situation. De Lint's best so far." --<i>Kirkus Revews on Someplace to Be Flying</i> <p/>"The reader does not have to be strictly a fan of either thrillers or fantasy to thoroughly enjoy this delightful tale." --<i>The Washington Post on Someplace to Be Flying</i> <p/>"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." --<i>Toronto Globe and Mail on Someplace to Be Flying</i> <p/>"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." --<i>Booklist on Someplace to Be Flying</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The World Fantasy Award-winning author of <i>The Onion Girl</i>, <i>Moonheart</i>, and many other novels, <b>Charles de Lint</b> lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.</p>
