"Tonio Kroger" is a psychological novel about the complex relationship of the artist with reality. The storyline is simple, but its content is complex, multifaceted. Outwardly, the novel is being built as a Tonio biography that a young man feels himself alone in a bourgeois environment. At the same time, this is a striking short story: it is spoken about the meaning and potential of art and of human life itself Tonio, focused on spiritual pursuits but physically weak, is opposed by his classmate Hans Hansen, thoughtlessly cheerful, athletic youth, and the same carelessly cheerful girl, Ingeborg Holm. Tonio leaves his hometown and travels. His life is filled with flour of creativity, doubts, quest. For him talk about art with the Russian artist Lizaveta Ivanovna have a great meaning.

THE ONION GIRL
One of the most enigmatic characters in Charles de Lint�s novels and stories about the mythical city of Newford, Jilly Coppercorn, is also one of the most pervasive of his characters, appearing in a supporting role in practically all of the stories while rarely taking center stage. In The Onion Girl, de Lint rectifies this situation by presenting Jilly�s complete life story as well as the biography of Jilly�s sister, Raylene. The resulting story is not what would be expected from the generous artist with the strong tie to fairy.
Jilly�s story begins with her recuperation from an hit and run accident. Recovering in hospital, she reflects on her own history even as she discovers the way to enter, while dreaming, into the lands of fairy so many of her friends can inhabit. Interspersed with the narrative by Jilly are chapters relating the history of Raylene, who Jilly left behind when she fled home as a child.
