Books with title The Magic Unicorn

There was a period, from 1961-1967, when Roger Zelazny was magic, and every new story of his was an event. He was a tremendously variable writer. The heart-wrenching "A Rose for Ecclesiastes" (written October 1967) was nothing like the passionate "Graveyard Heart," which was completely different from the mind blowing "The Ides of Octember," serialized in Amazing as "He Who Shapes," which was altogether different from the post-nuclear holocaust romp, "Damnation Alley," published in Galaxy and released as a film ten years later. Zelazny had style, his language sang, his prose flowed like poetry. There was really no one else quite like him when he exploded onto the scene. Collected here together in one volume are the ten long stories that made Zelazny a legend. The impact of these ten stories cannot be denied. Reading them together gives one a sense of how rare an accomplishment Zelazny's early career was. Samuel R. Delany is the author of more than 20 novels including Nova and Dhalgren. He has won two Hugo Awards, four Nebula Awards, two Lambda Awards, and the Stonewall Book Award. Delany is an SFWA Grand Master and was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2002. He is widely regarded as one of our most important science fiction authors. Roger Zelazny was a science fiction and fantasy writer, a six time Hugo Award winner, and a three time Nebula Award Winner. He published more than forty novels in his lifetime. His first novel This Immortal, serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under the title ...And Call Me Conrad, won the Hugo Award for best novel. Lord of Light, his third novel, also won the Hugo award and was nominated for the Nebula award. He died at age 58 from colon cancer. Zelazny was posthumously inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2010.

Anything can happen in The Magic U: open a door, open a book, and see. ... Duncan Youze sneaks outside at night to look for a Magic U “that makes your bestest wish come true.” His big sister Holly follows to keep him out of trouble. But a stranger frightens them and they run away. Lost in the woods, they discover a cottage and a secret passage lined with doors. When the stranger reappears, they dash through a doorway, taking off on a wild flight of imagination. In a maze of amazing worlds, Holly and Duncan meet all kinds of crazy characters: a beefy boy who can fly, a rainbow-stabbing rabbit, a wolf in ewe’s clothing, an infant princess on a planet of stuffed animals, and many more, some friendly, others not. Along the way, they learn to appreciate each other and themselves, but will they escape the stranger? And will they ever find their way home? The Magic U is a modern adventure that follows in the footsteps of children’s classics like Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan—with a nod and a wink at grown-up books too. There’s nothing quite like The Magic U, for children and their grown-ups, a wonderful blend of fantasy and fun that explores the magic of books and the mystery of growing up.
