  <default_description>When folk musician Janey Little finds a mysterious manuscript in an old trunk in her grandfather's cottage, she is swept into a dangerous realm both strange and familiar. But true magic lurks within the pages of The Little Country, drawing genuine danger from across the oceans into Janey's life, impelling her--armed only with her music--toward a terrifying confrontation.Come walk the mist-draped hills of Cornwall, come walk the ancient standing stones. Listen to the fiddles, and the wind, and the sea. Come step with Janey Little into the pages of....The Little Country.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this one nearly as much as de Lint's other books, possibly because it was an early novel.  The characters feel very caricature-like, and changes are generally discrete jumps in specific areas.  It was closer to horror than fantasy in places, and the narrative was broken by long rants a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38074967">more...</a>]]></body>

De Lint's genre is usually referred to as urban fantasy because many of his stories take place in the somewhat gritty urban setting of Newford, a town where, for many citizens, the realm of faerie coexists with our own &quot;re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27399585">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Possibly my favorite de Lint novel, visiting familiar themes as many of his books. What's really special about The Little Country is the extent to which music plays a big role (and this introduced me to Kathryn Tickle) and the completely magical book-within-a-book story. A beautiful story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's possible I'm just being picky here, but the prose was definitely awkward at times, and it felt as if Charles de Lint wasn't quite sure where he was going through the first half of the book, wandering a bit far into plot points that he never developed, or developed only partially. <br/><br/>Th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33874065">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another spoil from the coven book swap.  It's a cute fantasy tale, and I love any story with reincarnations of Aleister Crowley!  But it's a little formulaic, and I <em>hate</em> it when authors use novels to preach to the reader about their view of human nature and the universe.  Get it across in the story ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6495637">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is an enchanting tale.  It's totally one of those books that you get so caught up in you just can't put it down.  It's actually the tale of several people that all comes together as one story in the end.  It's a fairytale adventure love story, it's pretty thrilling I must say!

    <body><![CDATA[This was really good, and I thought it was excellent and was curious as to how he'd pull off the end. I was a bit underwhelmed by the end itself, but I chalk that up to me being absurd and getting ridiculous expectations for some mind-blowing wrap up. Quite nice. <br/><br/>AND he's Canadian, win! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of those books that flips between multiple perspectives so that just when you might start caring about what's going on in one narrative you're forced into another one. All I remember about this novel is that it's about a woman who likes music or something.]]></body>
