PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN
Book ID/图书代码： 00450014B76597
English Summary/英文概要： "Phoebe is a remarkably real little girl, as bright and imaginative as Bill Watterson’s Calvin, as touchingly vulnerable as Charles Schulz’s Charlie Brown. And if these strike you as big names to conjure with, I’ll go further and state for the record that in my opinion Heavenly Nostrils is nothing less than the best comic strip to come along since Calvin and Hobbes. Simpson is that good, and that original."--Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn, from the Introduction
A boy and his dog . . . a girl and her . . . unicorn?
It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and she used it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection? Indeed they can, and that’s how Phoebe and Her Unicorn unfolds.
This beautifully drawn strip follows the unlikely friendship between a somewhat awkward girl and the unicorn who gradually shows her just how special she really is. Through hilarious adventures where Phoebe gets to bask in Marigold’s "awesomeness," the friends also come to acknowledge that they had been lonely before they met and truly appreciate the bond they now share.

About the Author/作者介绍： 达娜•克莱尔•辛普森从小在华盛顿的吉格港长大，并将所有的时间用在了绘画上。最终她毕业于常青州立学院，尽管她将所有的时间都用在了绘画上，却并未取得太大的赞誉与名声。
而在其间她所进行的干一份真正的工作的尝试更是几乎不值一提；事实上，从1998到2008年间，她都在进行网络连环漫画Ozy and Millie的绘画创作。在获得了亚马逊赞助的2009年连环漫画新星大赛上，Universal Uclick 签下了她去进行“海文莉•诺斯崔尔斯”的创作。作者现与她的技术天才丈夫及他们傻傻的猫咪居住在西雅图市。Dana Claire Simpson grew up in Gig Harbor, Washington, drawing the entire time. She eventually graduated from The Evergreen State College, despite having spent all her time drawing, and not always for credit.
Attempts at doing real work along the way are hardly worth mentioning; the relevant fact is that, from 1998 to 2008, she drew the internet comic strip Ozy and Millie. After winning the Amazon-sponsored Comic Strip Superstar Contest in 2009, Universal Uclick signed her to a development deal for Heavenly Nostrils.
She currently lives in the Seattle area with her tech genius husband and her fairly stupid cat.
