Order of Charles De Lint Books
Canadian fantasy novelist Charles de Lint has captivated readers across multiple generations with his imaginative storytelling, including his beloved Newford series alongside other compelling works. Writing under the pseudonym Samuel M. Key, he has also ventured into horror fiction. His versatility shines through his ability to craft stories for readers of all ages—from children's books to young adult adventures to adult fantasy.
Before becoming a full-time writer in 1983, de Lint spent his twenties and thirties immersed in music, working at a record store and performing with a Celtic band on weekends. This musical background enriches his multifaceted artistic identity as not only a novelist but also a musician, songwriter, visual artist, performer, and folklorist.
De Lint launched his publishing career in 1984 with two debut novels: The Riddle of the Wren and Moonheart. He currently resides in Ottawa, Ontario, with his wife and manager, MaryAnn Harris, continuing to weave the magical tales that have earned him a devoted following among fantasy enthusiasts.
