More Praise for Peter S. Beagle’s MIRROR KINGDOMS
Booklist just posted a glowing review of Peter S. Beagle’s massive career retrospective, Mirror Kingdoms, and focused on those tales which haven’t been collected before: “‘What Tune the Enchantress Plays’ is the irritable dramatic monologue, delivered to a demon, of a woman tricked out of the love of her life and her subsequent
vengeance; it’s utterly convincing, for Beagle catches precisely the voice of just such a not-in-this-world character. ‘Vanishing’ is a ghost story about atonement and, just possibly, redemptive change by a man who let a moment of horror at the Berlin wall in 1963 ruin his life. The autobiographically tinted ‘The Rock in the Park’ and ‘The Rabbi’s Hobby’ are about, respectively, a boy’s run-ins with centaurs (in Central Park, yet) and the ghost of someone who never lived. They’re superb and in superb company.’”
