Subject Index. Review "An enthralling blend of old European and Native American mythology, seamlessly worked into a modern setting and situation. De Lints best so far." --Kirkus Revews on Someplace to Be Flying "The reader does not have to be strictly a fan of either thrillers or fantasy to thoroughly enjoy this delightful tale." --The Washington Post on Someplace to Be Flying "De Lint is as engaging a stylist as Stephen King, but considerably more inventive and ambitious. With Someplace To Be Flying he has produced a book that should appeal even to those who, like this reviewer, do not generally care a lot for fantasy." --Toronto Globe and Mail on Someplace to Be Flying "As page-turning and intelligent as usual for de Lint, who clearly has no equal as an urban fantasist and very few equals among fantasists as a folklorist. First-rate." --Booklist on Someplace to Be Flying Long Description Lily is a photojournalist in search of the "animal people" who supposedly haunt the citys darkest slums.
