Synopsis
Four astonishing tales, each different than the last. The Last Unicorn: The marvelous quest of an immortal unicorn, assisted by a mediocre magician, for her lost fellows. Lila the Werewolf: The whimsical tale of a lovely young girl who plays the guitar, has a mother in the Bronx, and turns into a werewolf at night -- much to the distress of the man she loves. A Fine and Private Place: The gloriously funny and heartwarming novel of everlasting love affairs for the living and the dead that begin in a cemetery. Come, Lady Death: The spellbinding story of a wealthy and jaded woman who plans the ultimate party...with Death as the guest-of-honor.

About the Author
Peter S. Beagle was born in 1939 and raised in the Bronx, where he grew up surrounded by the arts and education: both his parents were teachers, three of his uncles were world-renowned gallery painters, and his immigrant grandfather was a respected writer, in Hebrew, of Jewish fiction and folktales. Today, noted author and screenwriter Peter Beagle is a recipient of the prestigious Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Mythopoeic, and World Fantasy Awards, and he is a Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America 2018 Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master, among many other literary achievements. He has given generations of readers the magic of unicorns, haunted cemeteries, lascivious trees and disgruntled gods. A prolific author, his best-known work is The Last Unicorn, a fantasy novel, which Locus Magazine subscribers voted the number five "All-Time Best Fantasy Novel" in 1987. Fellow Hugo and Nebula-award-winning author Neil Gaiman has described Beagle's A Fine and Private Place as his "I-wish-I'd-written-that-first" novel. In addition to writing novels, short stories, poems, and songs, Peter S. Beagle is also known for his work on screen, including the screenplay he co-wrote for the 1978 Ralph Bakshi-animated version of The Lord of the Rings. He also wrote the teleplay for "Sarek", one of the most critically-acclaimed and popular episodes of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
