Author recommendation

[Audra1976 at aol.com]

The talk about Terry Pratchett got me thinking about "Good Omens," which I'm 
sure many of you have read, which in turn got me thinking about Neil Gaiman, 
whom I'm sure many of you have also read, but that thirdly reminded me of 
another author named Charles de Lint.  

I just read "The Ivory and the Horn," a collection of short stories by Chrles 
de Lint on the recommendation of a friend, and it reminded me of Neil Gaiman 
in that urban folkloric kind of way.  I think all you Harry Potter fans would 
also enjoy the way the way de Lint weaves a believable magical world that 
co-exists with our own, basing it on the mythology of different world cultures.  
Next I plan on checking out another of his short story collections, "Dreams 
Underfoot." 

I hope some of you will look into his work, and find it as enjoyable as I 
have.
