By the author of "Memory and Dream" and "Dreams Underfoot". "In de Lint's capable hands, modern fantasy becomes something other than escapism, it becomes folk song, the stuff of urban myth. In the fictional city of Newford, replete with the brutal realities of modern urban life, de Lint's characters encounter magic in strange and unexpected places. Magic is found under concrete streets, amid the faces of the destitute, and in the dark alleys that lead to surprising destinations." --- The Phoenix Gazette. Contents include: Waifs and Strays / Mr. Truepenny's Book Emporium and Gallery / The Forest is Crying / The Wishing Well / Dead Man's Shoes / Bird Bones and Wood Ash / A Tempest in Her Eyes / Saxophone Joe and The Woman in Black / The Bone Woman / Pal O' Mine / Where Desert Spirits Crowd The Night / Dream Harder, Dream True / The Pochade Box / Coyote Stories / The Forever Trees.

In the city of Newford, when the stars and the vibes are right, you can touch magic. Mermaids sing in the murky harbor, desert spirits crowd the night, and dreams are more real than waking. Charles de Lint began his chronicles of the extraordinary city of Newford in Memory & Dream and the short-story collection Dreams Underfoot. In The Ivory and the Horn, this uncommonly gifted craftsman weaves a new tapestry of stark realism and fond hope, mean streets and boulevards of dreams, where you will rediscover the power of love and longing, of wishes and desires, and of the magic that hovers at the edge of everyday life.
