Synopsis
Includes Hugo- and Nebula-winning Novelette "Two Hearts", the sequel to The Last Unicorn
When New York Times Bestselling writer Tad Williams described Peter S. Beagle as a "bandit prince out to steal reader's hearts" he spoke a truth that's been evident for more than 50 years. But during the first four decades of his career Beagle was known mainly as a novelist and screenwriter. Every short fiction piece he wrote was recognized as a classic -- "Come Lady Death", "Lila and the Werewolf", "Professor Gottesman and the Indian Rhinoceros", and the tales that made up his collection The Magician of Karakosk -- but there were only a handful. That changed in 2001, when Beagle turned his attention to short fiction in earnest, producing a stunning array of more than 40 new and award-winning stories during the next decade.
In Mirror Kingdoms: The Best of Peter S. Beagle, acclaimed genre editor Jonathan Strahan collects his favorite Beagle stories -- over 200,000 words' worth -- in a single volume ranging across 47 years of brilliantly diverse creativity. It's a book which shows, more than any other, just how successful this bandit prince from the Bronx streets has been, and exactly why the World Fantasy Association honored him with their Lifetime Achievement Award.
