Way Home

My father cleared his throat. He began to say, "They took her," but he never got past the first word, and had to start again. He said finally, "The Dreamies took her. She went with the Dreamies." Sooz was an extraordinary little girl. She grew into an extraordinary woman, with a gift given to her by a unicorn, after a battle with a griffin. The gift is more precious than she could have imagined but sets her on a dangerous path to rescue the sister she never knew she had from a land to which humans never go. But Sooz is no ordinary human. She may not be human at all. The one thing this changeling child does know is love, and courage. Combining the Hugo award-winning novelette Two Hearts with brand new story Sooz, The Way Home returns us to the world of The Last Unicorn. Peter S. Beagle brings the same humanity, poignancy and wisdom that makes his writing so magical.

Peter S. Beagle was born in Manhattan in 1939. He wrote his first novel, A Fine and Private Place when he was just 19 years old, and it published in 1960. The Last Unicorn is one of his most famous works, published in 1968, and adapted into a film starring Christopher Lee in 1982 for which he wrote the screenplay. His works have won critical acclaim around the world, and many awards. In 2018, he was named a Damon Knight Grand Master by the SFWA.
