Jonathan Rebeck is homeless. Bankrupt. He has dropped out of society and has been living quietly in a local cemetery, under the care of a raven who is quite good at stealing sandwiches. Far from being lonely, however, Jonathan is able to converse with the ghosts around him, and finds himself following two new spirits, Michael and Laura, as they fall in love with each other. He becomes invested in, and part of, their cautious romance. But the circumstances behind Michael's death are slipping from his memory, and the further from life they drift, the closer the loss of love feels. When a visiting widow stumbles across Jonathan in his graveyard home, will the living world begin to intrude on this fine and private place? Peter S. Beagle's legendary, beautiful debut novel is filled with all his characteristic warmth and humanity. With a new introduction by Neil Gaiman, A Fine and Private Place is a timeless classic from the author of The Last Unicorn.

Though it doesn't necessarily have the universal appeal of Beagle's Last Unicorn (which can also be enjoyed by children), I love this quirky book.
Imbued with sweetness and whimsical humor, free of morbidity, it's amazing that Beagle wrote this when he was very young - I rate it higher than he did in the charming forward in my edition (one that contained The Last Unicorn and 2 less memorable pieces).
You?ll care about all the characters ? human or avian, living or dead. And though it brushes against the infinite, this is not a tale about what lies beyond, and (wait for it) less about death than about life.
