Beschreibung
Fantasy icon Peter S. Beagle, author of THE LAST UNICORN, is a self-proclaimed “sucker for tackling things I’ve never done before.” When the website GreenManReview.com asked Beagle to write four seasonally-themed short stories to be presented as podcasts, he couldn’t resist... and then did them one better by writing and recording five!
For raw material he turned to his childhood growing up in the Bronx, just north of Manhattan, and his three oldest, closest friends. With each story Beagle and his buddies advance one year and one season, from 11 years old in the first (“The Stickball Witch”) to 15 in the last (“The Fifth Season”). Along the way they meet lost centaurs in Van Cortlandt park, talk to Jell-O in the Bronx High School of Science’s cafeteria, help an old man face a most unusual harbinger of death, and learn the secrets of their own futures in a magical water pistol fight.
Funny, imaginative, and endearing, these five tales are more uniquely personal than anything else Beagle has ever written.
