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.

Peter Soyer Beagle (born April 20, 1939) is an American fantasist and author of novels, nonfiction, and screenplays. He is also a talented guitarist and folk singer. He wrote his first novel, A Fine and Private Place, when he was only 19 years old.
