A celebration of Peter Beagle." — Washington Post Book World ...Mixes classic tales with new gems, early stories, and various nonfiction. Beagle's essay about #145;D. H. Lawrence in Taos'is worth the price of the book." — The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror: 11th Annual Collection ...This collection proves just how essential Beagle is to modern fantasy. Without Beagle's early example we'd have no Blaylock or Powers.... A story like #145;The Naga' is worthy of inclusion in the Arabian Nights." — Asimov's Science Fiction ...A nicely designed collection of Peter Beagle's best short work." — Mythprint Werewolves, Unicorns, the Dreadful Specter of Death at a Ball—you may think you've read these stories before. Peter S. Beagle demonstrates most eloquently that unless you've read his versions, you haven't read these stories at all. Everything Beagle touches, he makes new. Every sentence he shapes encapsulates a song. This is both a delightful and moving collection." —Michael Bishop 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. I envy people reading these stories for the first time." —Lisa Goldstein, author of The Uncertain Places 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 Peter S. Beagle is our best modern fabulist in the tradition of Hawthorne and Twain. From the dark pride in the story Come Lady Death" to the dignity and love rising from a rhino-emblazoned philosophy, the stories in this book make the Fantastic become real, the Real both dark and lovely." —Jack Cady, "A celebration of Peter Beagle." -- Washington Post Book World "...Mixes classic tales with new gems, early stories, and various nonfiction.

Synopsis
2004 Grand Prix de l'Imaginaire winner Peter S. Beagle's The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche and Other Odd Acquaintances celebrates the beginning of Beagle's extraordinary career as a fantasist. Widely available for the first time and with a new preface by the author, this delightful book contains seven short stories and three essays by one of the most popular authors in the history of the fantasy field. The Last Unicorn , Beagle's most beloved novel, was an underground best-seller in the late 1960s and 1970s and is still in print and enchanting new readers today.
