A review by archergal
In Calabria by Peter S. Beagle

4.0

I am a long-time, unabashed fan of Peter S. Beagle. I first read The Last Unicorn in the summer of 1968. My original copy of the book is older than my husband. I've lost track of how many time's I've read it. I read it for comfort, for hearts-ease, and to revisit old friends.

I've enjoyed most of Beagle's other books too.

Here's another unicorn book of his. But it's mostly about finding love and wonder and a bit of redemption at any age.

I agree with another reviewer that Bianchi seems older than the story tells us he is, but that didn't distract me from the story.

Beagle has a way of writing about the way wonder and unexpected beauty can strike deep into the heart that I find very affecting. It's lovely.

This is a small, lovely book, and I recommend it.
