I hope you also learn something new about this important Canadian author!Ĭharles de Lint was born in the Netherlands on December 22, 1951, although he emigrated to Canada at a mere four months old. Yet, it wasn’t until compiling this biography that I realized just how much de Lint has written, or how involved he is with other forms of the arts. He inspired me to start writing urban fantasy, and made me believe in everyday magic. I cannot express influential Charles de Lint was to me. ![]() Now I enjoy reading his YA and adult books, and his collections of short stories. I read his younger books, like the Riddle of the Wren as a child, and then started on books like The Blue Girl as a young teenager. I have been a massive Charles de Lint fan since I was a kid.
