Interviews with Peter S. Beagle seem to be few and far
between, in contrast to many of the popular fantasy novelists nowadays. Ah, well. Either Mr. Beagle has more important
things to do (like write!) and limited time for granting interviews and travelling to Con after
Con, or an
entire generation which was raised on the animated "The Last Unicorn" movie has forgotten the
man who made it all possible. Either way, it makes it hard on this chronicler. So if you know
of any
interviews, on-line or off, or any guest appearances either past or future, please let me know
so I can include them here.
