Coppercorn's youth.... [D]e Lint presents Jilly's choices, the

his characteristic powerful yet intimate style. Jilly's reader
friends, including those first meeting her, will be more than
delighted."

residents, Promises to Keep provides a lovely glimpse into their
past, and how they came to know one another. Readers new to de
Lint's work will find this book an easy introduction to the magical
world of Newford. The beautiful cover art was done by Mike
Dringenberg, well-known for his work on Neil Gaiman's Sandman."

de Lint returns to the early days of one of his most beloved
Newford characters, Jilly Coppercorn. For fans this will be a
delight well worth seeking out, but teen readers who have a chance
to read it should not pass it up...a classic peek into the wonder
that is Newford."

their fantasy, but with a more than a touch of the magical."
