Seven Wild Sisters is a modern fairy tale about seven sisters growing up in backwoods hill country, and how one of them finds a mystery in the forest that both endangers and will save them all. Hey, they did.
Okay, it came home and went back when I saw it was #19, then I decided I didn’t care, it’s too pretty and I read it first. I'm guessing the book was targeted to 5th graders (ish) and that it has been awhile since the author was around young readers. As always, Charles de Lint delivers on a wonderful story. He doesn't even have to bother with the magic part if he wants, even though I like that part too.

Add in the illustrations of Charles Vess, and this quick read is quite enthralling.A bit more YA than de Lint's usual Newford books, but still an enjoyable read. While he was invoked, the story dodged around him. This is sort of a sequel to the Cats of Tanglewood Forest, and is equally as delightful with talented, courageous heroines (courageous meaning being afraid but doing what needs to be done anyway). This is a short delightful book that is perfect for a summer afternoon. The artwork is stunning! I will be seeking out much more work by each of them in the future, and I can certainly see myself returning to this duology in the future.

I was intrigued by the characters. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. As often happens, the world of mortals and that of faery interact in sudden and unexpected ways. Modern Library's Top 100 Books of the 20th Century poll, conducted by Random House and voted on by readers, put eight of de Lint's books among the top 100. Aunt Lillian lives alone, secluded, near the woods. The storyline is simple, but by no means boring, and the richness of de Lint's words and Vess's drawings pair together perfectly to create an immersive experience. A beautiful story with lovely characters. The storytelling is as wonderful as you would expect from Charles De Lint.

Cats aren't exactly known for their altruistic nature.) Lily teaches Sarah all about the faeries, and how to respectfully treat them, and leads her to choose the homesteading life for herself.

I would like to read other works by de Lint. This was a wonderful reminder of everything I love about his stories. She wouldn't want to really slow down. Lily teaches Sarah all about the faeries, and how to respectfully treat them, and leads her to choose the homesteading life for herself. by Subterranean Press This feels a bit like the opening chapters to a longer DeLint novel, but it's enjoyable for what it is.Very fun, very quick read about sisters and their visit to fairy land. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. He doesn't even have to bother with the magic part if he wants, even though I like that part too.

(Obviously) It's CdL, so I knew I'd enjoy it. Either way, my daughter and I enjoyed it. Modern Library's Top 100 Books of the 20th Century poll, conducted by Random House and voted on by readers, put eight of de Lint's bCharles de Lint is the much beloved author of more than seventy adult, young adult, and children's books. The artwork is stunning! All the everyday magic and fae magic and deep magic walking side by side and hand in hand. I was disappointed.A few years ago, over a number of years, I read more than a few of Charles de Lint's books. The seven sisters are engaging, Lillian (from Tanglewood Cats) is a major character and the Apple Tree Man is wise in all but love apparently. The illustrations are pure joy.It's been too long since I read anything by Charles. The novel begins by focusing on the middle daughter, Sarah Jane, but by the end of the novel, all seven sisters have played a role in this delightful fairy fantasy adventure. It's just a sweet story, with great characters and imagery.I like big families, because they're really fun to talk to and play with.

As usually happens, adventure starts by someone breaking the rules.A nature lover's and folklore enthusiast's dream story.

This book had all the characteristics that I loved in its predecessor, The Cats of Tanglewood Forest: a homey, folkloric atmosphere, a charming and skilled writing style, and distinct and memorable characters.
