Welcome to Litsy!

Just a tiny, fuzzy beard and another lovely short story collection from Peter S. Beagle.

This book begins with a Schmendrick the Magician story and then follows with two stories about unicorns, a story set in the Innkeeper's Song and a modern day short about dragons in California which was probably my favorite in the book. And to top it off there is another Schmendrick story later on, an odd but fascinating steampunk attempt and finally another Unicorn story. Pure Beagle. Every story was at least fair but most were outstanding.

As usual, beautiful writing and slightly unsettling stories that made me think. Beagle isn‘t for everyone, but his writing is so lyrical and his stories so strange that he‘s worth the effort.

I've always found Peter S. Beagle's writing comforting, so I'm looking forward to his latest short story collection.

When book mail arrives and you'd forgotten you had ordered it! It's like a present past self gave me! And it's signed! Thanks, past me!

At least I have a good bopk to keep me company while I elevate my Achilles tendon. ☹
