Muse and Reverie is an all-new collection of short fiction in Charles de Lint’s “Newford” universe — the fifth such collection since 1993, and the first since 2002.

Previous collections are Dreams Underfoot, The Ivory and the Horn, the World Fantasy Award-winning Memory and Dream, and Tapping the Dream Tree.

The city of Newford could be any city in North America, bursting with music, commerce, art, love and hate, and of course magic. Magic in the sidewalk cracks, myth at the foundations of its great buildings, enchantment in the spaces between its people.
