<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first of de Lint's Newford collections is returned to print in trade paperback. "Dreams Underfoot" is a must-read book, not only for fans of urban fantasy, but for all who seek magic in everyday life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Welcome to Newford. . . .</i> <p/>Welcome to the music clubs, the waterfront, the alleyways where ancient myths and magic spill into the modern world. Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost. Gemmins live in abandoned cars and skells traverse the tunnels below, while mermaids swim in the grey harbor waters and fill the cold night with their song. <p/>Like Mark Helprin's <i>A Winter's Tale</i> and John Crowley's <i>Little, Big, Dreams Underfoot</i> is a must-read book not only for fans of urban fantasy but for all who seek magic in everyday life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism.
