  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;The long-awaited sequel to the popular classic &lt;i&gt;The Last Unicorn&lt;/i&gt; is the centerpiece of this powerful collection of new tales from a fantasy master. As longtime fans have come to expect, the stories are written with a grace and style similar to fantasy's most original voices, such as J. R. R. Tolkien, Fritz Leiber, and Kurt Vonnegut. Traditional themes are typically infused with modern sensibilities&amp;#8212;reincarnated lovers and waning kings rub shoulders with heroic waifs; Schmendrick the Magician returns to adventure, as does the ghost of an off-Broadway actor and a dream-stealing shapeshifter; and Gordon, the delightfully charming &quot;self-made cat,&quot; appears for the first time in print, taking his place alongside Stuart Little as a new favorite of the young at heart. This wide-ranging compilation contains sly humor and a resounding depth that will charm fans of literary fantasy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I got this book only because of the story &quot;Two Hearts&quot;, the novelette sequel to The Last Unicorn.  It was worth the price for that story alone, which is simply amazing.<br/><br/>The other stories in the collection are pretty good as well - some better than others, of course, but I consid...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4199379">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked &quot;Quarry&quot; and &quot;Dance for Emilia&quot; but had a bit of a slog through some of the other stories.  I think I'm in the minority who would like to leave The Last Unicorn just as it ended.  However, I'd love to read a full book about the bsiblings from &quot;El Regalo.&quot;]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this short story collection as a whole, though I bought it for the &quot;Last Unicorn&quot; sequel (&quot;Two Hearts&quot;).  The mystery was interesting and a fun change of pace.  I already own &quot;A Dance for Emilia&quot; separately and liked that when I read it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was disappointed, not by the writing but by the content.  I remembered The Last Unicorn as a breath of magic and this book just didn't transport me.  Anywhere.  I was still in my chair in the doctor's lobby, sadly turning pages.  Big sigh.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was fabulous.  Each story was a pleasure to read.  My favorite at the moment is El Regalo, for the characters, their voices, and the santera.<br/><br/>Highly recommended!  I couldn't put it down.  It made me want to read much, much more Beagle.]]></body>
