Peter S Beagle recommends
The Scarlet Circus (2023)
(Circus , book 3)
Jane Yolen
"All these years, and Jane Yolen still reduces me to helpless, gibbering admiration. I'll read anything with her name on it, even if it's just a damn grocery list!"
Angel-Seeker (2004)
(Samaria, book 5)
Sharon Shinn
"The most promising and original writer of fantasy to come along since Robin McKinley."
The Madagascar Manifesto (2002)
(Madagascar Manifesto)
Janet Berliner and George Guthridge
"[Madagascar] Manifesto should take its place among the very few works of our time that truly deserve the title epic."
Stolen from Gypsies (2000)
Noble Smith
"Noble Smith's wit and inventiveness and the astonishing range of his learning recreates the picaresque novel almost single-handedly... The book is a pure delight..."
The Island Under the Earth (1969)
Avram Davidson
"The Island Under the Earth reveals that Avram Davidson is at one of those points of discovery and renewal. He's opened out into pure, funny, stimulating fantasy with something more than mere grace and easiness."
