I loved The Blue Girl. I tried reading one of his other books, but I stopped partway through because I wasn't familiar with any of the characters and the book seemed to assume that you had background knowledge of them. I have a couple of his books, a short novel and a collection of short stories (I can't remember the titles, but I do know that they both have "Dream" in the title), but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. I'd really like to because urban fantasy is a genre I'd like to explore more.

its best if you read his authors notes because sometimes he may say this is a sequal to this. but he doesnt openly state anything or it may just be the way he writes....what was the title of the book?

I particularly enjoyed "Jack the Giant-Killer" which you can probably get as a cheap used paperback publishedas "Jack of Kinrowan." That's straight up urban fantasy, there, and the characters are all introduced in "Jack the Giant-Killer."

I just loved Charles de Lint's Spirits in the Wires. It's real urban fantasy, a whole new world dying to be explored on the internet. Spirits have started to find a habitat in the internet, but things get messy when a virus is sent to a powerful spirit, who resides withing a website known as the Wordwood.
By the way, it's not Charles DeLint, it's Charles De Lint, I can know because I'm Dutch.

I enjoy his books when I want to read something that is more of a behind the scenes fantasy.

Ladyknight1991 i first discovered him because of a book called blue girl which is total;ly KICKASS if i do say so myself(and i do! whee ) but today i just finished reading another book of his called onion girl which was fantastic! but for an older age level...or not very innocent highschoolers but some of the material in there is very....uuuh....dirty sweatdrop ...nonetheless it is a very good book!next one im reading is called Widdershins cant wait whee The first book of his I read was called "Into the Green" I think. I didn't get to finish it because it was due, and then it was never in again. Grr. I read "The Blue Girl" second, and it's one of my favorite teen novels.

The only thing I've read by him is Wolf Moon, and I didn't enjoy it all that much. It was an original werewolf novel, but just because it was unique didn't make it interesting. At some point I plan on reading The Riddle of the Wren and The Onion Girl because they look like they'll be better. After all, Phillippa Gregory is one of my favourite authors and I don't like all of her novels. A friend of mine read The Blue Girl and loved it.

It's the only book by de Lint that I've read, and it's definitely worth the read.

Blue Girl was amazing. There was a part in the middle that I thought was a bit dry, but after that I was blown away. Charles deLint is amazing and creative.
