"LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2021
PRNewswire – Following a lengthy bankruptcy
court and California state court battle, Peter Beagle has finally reclaimed
rights with respect to the vast majority of his Intellectual Property (IP) for
the first time in decades. The bankruptcy case stemmed from a 2015 lawsuit in
which Peter Beagle sued, and prevailed, against his ex-manager for elder abuse,
fraud and other serious claims. The Bankruptcy Court recently approved a sale,
which was effectuated shortly following that order that facilitates the return
of Beagle’s body of work to an ownership group that includes Beagle, the IP’s
creator and rightful owner.
A Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America 2018 Damon Knight Memorial Grand
Master, Beagle’s best-known work is “The Last Unicorn”, a fantasy novel, which
Locus Magazine subscribers voted the number five “All-Time Best Fantasy Novel”
in 1987. A prolific and multi-award winning author, the 81-year old’s “The Last
Unicorn” was included in TIME’s list of “100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time,”
published in October 2020. TIME describes these books as “the most engaging,
inventive and influential works of fantasy fiction, in chronological order
beginning in the 9th century.” The IP spans the entire breadth of the acclaimed
author’s decades-long career and includes newer works that have never been seen
by the public."
Excellent news and long overdue!
