A wonderful blend of fantasy, romance, and spirituality, with myths from various cultures of the American West. This is a very unique book, and captured my attention throughout. It inspired me to read more of de Lint's writing. (

A story about two of the Dillard sisters (Bess and Laurel), but also about some of the animal people and a deal that was made a century ago that allowed two born animals to become human. A lovely, lovely book, with illustrations by Charles Vess. And for an ARC, not that many errors! :-) I always love the stories about the animal people, the idea of them is so fascinating to me. (

I live in the area where this book takes place, and he captures the drama and the mystery of the Southwest admirably. Love the illustrations too. (
