Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, has millions of fans around the world. He was born in New York City in 1939 and raised in the Bronx, where he grew up surrounded by the arts and education: both his parents were teachers, three of his uncles were gallery painters, and his immigrant grandfather was a respected writer, in Hebrew, of Jewish fiction and folktales. As a child Peter used to sit by himself in the stairwell of his apartment building, making up stories. <a href="https://www.la

Quotes
- “The Unicorn Sonata … tells us that our true home is often right around the corner, if we'd only open our eyes — and our ears — to find it.”
- “What am I always telling you, big girl? Never bet on anything except human stupidity.”
- “Kings need jugglers, jugglers don’t need kings…”
- “When I was very young every grownup was a hero. It's been all downhill since then, and I have only two left.”
- ““She’s a lady,” I says, “for all she’s a Portygee, and you’re no more a gentleman than that monkey in your mango tree. Money don’t make such as us into gentlemen, Henry Lee. All it does, it makes us rich monkeys. You know that, same as me.””
- “But that instant, that particular recognition, remains indelible. Some memories do come to live with you for good and all, like wives or husbands.”
