“The first of his books I ever read.

In a mood and wanting something fun to read, I went looking for "the Jack Tales". Except that i remembered them from childhood as "Jack and the Witch". With the help of the sales clerk, a considerably knowledgeable young college student, we came across thi book.

From the very first chapter, I was hooked! Mr de Lint blended the world of fantasy into the reality that Jack (who is a young woman, Jacky) was experiencing. She has no "power", she's prone to second guessing herself.

What she does have is what is known as "pluck". Using that to her advantage and making unlikely alliances, she became a heroine...

Fantasy lovers, I highly recommend you check it out.
