The Crow Girls and their kind, once seen, are impossible to forget. Wild, but curiously childlike wise and yet playful existing outside the confines of conventional morality, and yet bringing hope and clarity to everyone whose lives they touch. —Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat, from her introduction to this book. Charles de Lints readers have been asking him to put together story collections featuring their favourite Newford characters. The crow girls are among his best-loved characters, so de Lint obliged by gathering their stories all under one roof, so to speak. Some other members of the Newford repertory company show up here, but at the forefront of each story are these two little wild girls with their big personalities. This book features an introduction by Joanne Harris and an afterword by the de Lint.
