Charles de Lint
Come meet Jilly, painting wonders in the rough city streets; and Geordie, playing fiddle while he dreams of a ghost; and the Angel of Grasso Street gathering the fey and the wild and the poor and the lost. Dreams Underfoot is a must-read book not only for fans of urban fantasy but for all who seek magic in everyday life.

Critic reviews
"Charles de Lint shows that, far from being escapism, contemporary fantasy can be the deep mythic literature of our time." (Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction)

This book introduces you to many of the characters I learned of in The Onion Girl and I was expecting to get a little bit more history. It actually had an entire section that I swear was word for word in the Onion Girl and as others have mentioned the description of characters are a bit repetitive if you have read another De Lint book. This is something I both love and is a bit irritating. I love it because you do not have to read the Newford books in order. They stand on their own.
What I liked is it still has fleshed out characters and you learn more about Newford. It is clearly an introduction to Newford, however. It felt like a collection of stories rather than one story, and I prefer to have a main storyline. The Onion Girl took a bit to getting all its storylines to fit together but it did.
This feels like a first effort and when you look at how many books in his reperatoire are related to Newford this is clearly an earlier work. It's good, but I probably won't re read/relisten to it. I will definitely reread/relisten to The Onion Girl.
Liked it but I didn't love it

Phenomenal read

One of the first writers of "urban fantasy," DeLint presents speculative fiction in a way that begs to be believed.
You can't go wrong with narration by Kate Reading--always a delight!
Delightful

My one suggestion for the producers of this audio book would be to put some gap, or marker, between the stories so that the listener could tell one story has ended and the next is about to start. There was hardly any pause between the end of one sentence of one story and the start of the next. It took several stories before I began to recognize the clues that I was in a new story. I'd prefer to not have to wonder where I am.
DeLint well realized

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Probably not. The stories seem to run together, making them predictable. I found that the narrator can make or break an audible book. I could not thru one story without the narrator putting me to sleep.Has Dreams Underfoot turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, as I still like urban fiction, just inot n this style.Would you be willing to try another one of Kate Reading’s performances?
No.Do you think Dreams Underfoot needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No. This book is like one novel: I do not think there is more to tell.Any additional comments?
The narrator is very droning.naration makes stories hard to folllow
