A review by jorybear
Dreams Underfoot by Charles de Lint

3.0

I picked up a book called [b:The Onion Girl|543343|The Onion Girl (Newford, #11)|Charles de Lint|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1389341416s/543343.jpg|14299461] at the used bookstore, and I looked all over to figure out if it was part of a series. It looked like a stand-alone book, so I bought it. Before I read it, I realized it was part of a series, and since I always read series in order purchased Dreams Underfoot.

I had no idea that the book would be a collection of short stories. This probably is not a book series that matters if you read it in any particular order. The city of Newford and the fantastic things that happen there if only you bother to look are excellent. The short stories are well-ordered and go together well. Each presents a slightly different view of Newford, and while there are many characters that come and go, there are several recurring ones, as well, that you grow to know and love. I look forward to reading more about Newford with [b:The Dreaming Place|258474|The Dreaming Place (Newford, #2)|Charles de Lint|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1386921979s/258474.jpg|14299561].
