Peter S. Beagle was born in 1939 and raised in the Bronx, just a few blocks from Woodlawn Cemetery, the inspiration for his first novel, A Fine And Private Place. He originally proclaimed he would be a writer when 10 years old: subsequent events have proven him either prescient or even more stubborn than hitherto suspected. Today, thanks to classic works such as The Last Unicorn, Tamsin, and The Innkeeper's Song, he is acknowledged as America's greatest living fantasy author; and his dazzling abilities with language, characters, and magical storytelling have earned him many millions of fans around the world. In addition to stories and novels he has written numerous teleplays and screenplays, including the animated versions of The Lord Of The Rings and The Last Unicorn, plus the fan-favorite "Sarek" episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is also a gifted poet, lyricist, and singer/songwriter. In 2007, Beagle won the Hugo and Nebula Awards for his original novelette, "Two Hearts," from The Line Between.

Featuring previously unpublished and uncollected treasures from a much-beloved fantasy icon, this collection is a rare treat, particularly for fans of The Last Unicorn. A romp through the filing cabinet of Peter S. Beagle’s imagination, it is an unexpected glimpse into the curios, curiosities, and capstones of his later fiction. Included is a novella-length adventure of the Last Unicorn, in which she bands together with a duo of ambivalent demons to seek out her lost brethren. There are additional chapters from Beagle’s first novel, A Fine & Private Place, from an unpublished novel, Mirror Kingdoms, and even snippets from his childhood and teen-aged years. Correspondence, running commentary, and interviews with Beagle give delightful insight into his creative process. This lovingly-curated volume is a hoard of unexpected riches to surprise and delight readers young and old.
Praise for Peter S. Beagle "...One of my favorite writers." -Madeleine L'Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time and A Swiftly Tilting Planet "Peter S. Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic such commonplace matters as ghosts, unicorns, and werewolves. For years a loving readership has consulted him as an expert on those hearts' reasons that reason does not know." -Ursula K. Le Guin, author of A Wizard of Earthsea and The Left Hand of Darkness "The only contemporary to remind one of Tolkien" -Booklist "Peter S. Beagle is (in no particular order) a wonderful writer, a fine human being, and a bandit prince out to steal readers' hearts." -Tad Williams, author of The Dragonbone Chair and Tailchaser's Song "It's a fully rounded region, this other world of Peter Beagle's imagination...an originality...that is wholly his own." -Kirkus "[Beagle] has been compared, not unreasonably, with Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien, but he stands squarely - and triumphantly on his own feet." -The Saturday Review "Not only does Peter Beagle make his fantasy worlds come vividly, beautifully alive; he does it for the people who enter them." -Poul Anderson, author of The High Crusade "Peter S. Beagle is the magician we all apprenticed ourselves to. Before all the endless series and shared-world novels, Beagle was there to show us the amazing possibilities waiting in the worlds of fantasy, and he is still one of the masters by which the rest of the field is measured." -Lisa Goldstein, author of The Red Magician "Peter S. Beagle would be one of the century's great writers in any arena he chose; we readers must feel blessed that Beagle picked fantasy as a homeland. Magic pumps like blood through the veins of his stories. Imparting passionately breathing, singing, laughing reality to the marvelous is his great gift to us all." -Edward Bryant, author of Cinnabar |
