Waifs and Strays

Charles de Lint's remarkable novels and shorter fiction are, in a very real sense, coming of age stories. Here, for the first time, is a collection of his stories about teenagers--a collection for teen and adult readers alike. From the streets of his famed Newford to the alleys of Bordertown to the realms of Faerie, this is story-telling that will transfix and delight, with characters who will linger in the mind--many of them from his novels. Featuring an illuminating preface by acclaimed author, anthologist, and critic Terri Windling, Waifs and Strays is a must-own for de Lint fans, and an ideal introduction to his work for newcomers.Windling, Terri is the author of 'Waifs and Strays', published 2004 under ISBN 9780606308083 and ISBN 0606308083.
