Featuring the Hugo and Nebula award-winning original novelette from the world of ,The Last Unicorn,, "Two Hearts.",The long-awaited sequel to the popular classic ,The Last Unicorn, 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 sensibilitiesâ€”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 "self-made cat," 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.,Contents,"A Dance with Emilia","El Regalo","Four Fables: The Fable of the Moth, The Fable of the Octopus, The Fable of the Ostrich, The Fable of the Tyrannosaurus Rex","Gordon, the Self-Made Cat","Mr. Sigerson","Quarry","Salt Wine","Two Hearts"
