You should also remember that we noted the release of de Lint’s music video, . . . → Read More: Tamson House Music ‘Have another drink and just listen to the music.’ — Charles de Lint in Forests of the Heart I hadn’t read this novel until I had a contradance tour with one of my bands along the Border earlier this year and asked around the Pub to see which de Lint they liked. This . . . → Read More: Charles de Lint’s Forests of The Heart There’s a magic that we’ve lost sight of in the urban jungle. Mysteries abound in the corners and the empty spaces and the void left where our imaginations have packed up and moved to warmer climates.
