I have to admit a decided preference to De Lint's older works - his newer stuff is lovely as well of course but the older books such as Moonheart, Spiritwalk and Greenmantle have a certain charm about them that is difficult to find in books these days. Greenmantle is wonderful - alternately heart warming and horrifying, portraying both the best and the worst of the human race, and managing to integrate faery tales beautifully and skillfully into the story, to make an interesting, engrossing story that is well worth the read.
