look after them. Beagle also co-edited the brand-new THE
UNICORN ANTHOLOGY, and his
Persian unicorn fantasy “My Son Heydari and the Karkadann,”
published here for the very first time.
Save
the Unicorns contains fifteen titles, with six new e-books created
specifically for the bundle. Originals include two new anthologies
edited by Gordon Van Gelder, the long-term, expert editor of FANTASY
& SCIENCE FICTION. Three
stories are collected from The Unicorn Chronicles by the bestselling
children’s author Bruce Coville. Much-adored fantasist Patricia A.

RIDDLE-MASTER OF HED) put forward
her original tribute story to THE
LAST UNICORN, “Unicorn
Triangle.”
The

novel, ARIEL,
in which a unicorn and young boy wander a post-apocalyptic landscape
to which magic has returned. The Arthurian mash-up THE
DRAGON AND THE UNICORN by
A. A. Attanasio offers a cosmic addition to unicorn lore. Piers
Anthony’s PANDORA
PARK is a
wild adventure packed with magical powers, dragons, talking unicorns,
and candy trees.
