Beagle's short stories, including one previously unpublished and four uncollected stories, shows again that Beagle is one of America's most influential fantasists. With his celebrated versatility, humor, and grace, Beagle is at home in a dazzling variety of subgenres. Evoking comparison to such iconic authors as Twain, Tolkien, Carroll, L'Engle, and Vonnegut, this career retrospective celebrates Beagle's mastery of the short-story form. A dilapidated dragon, a frustrated cop, and an unapologetic author square off over a dangerously abandoned narrative. The seemingly perfect addition to a weekly card game hides a dark secret from everyone but her teammate. A deeply respected judge meets his match in Snow Ermine, a gorgeous pickpocket. From heartbreaking to humorous, these carefully curated stories by Peter S. Beagle show the depth and power of his incomparable prose and storytelling. Featuring a newly published story, "The Mantichora," an original introduction from Meg Elison (Find Layla), and gorgeous illustrations from Stephanie Pui-Mun Law (Shadowscapes), this elegant collection is a must-have for any fan of classic fantasy. 650 0 $a Dragons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Authors $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Elison, Meg, $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Law, Stephanie Pui-Mun, $e illustrator. 700 1 $a Story, Elizabeth, $e illustrator. 740 02 $a Sleight of hand 740 02 $a Oakland Dragon Blues 740 42 $a The rock in the park 740 42 $a The Rabbi's hobby 740 42 $a The way it works out and all 740 42 $a The best worst monster 740 42 $a La Lune Tattend 740 42 $a The story of Kao Yu 740 02 $a Trinity County, CA: You'll want to come again and we'll be glad to see you! 740 02 $a Marty and the messenger 740 02 $a The Mantichora 740 02 $a Mr. McCaslin 740 02 $a The fifth season 740 02 $a Tarzan swings by Barsoom 740 02 $a The bridge partner 740 02 $a Vanishing 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011224.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D61E9BE042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
