Born in Manhattan on April 20, 1939, Peter Soyer Beagle, son of Simon and Rebecca Soyer Beagle, was raised in the Bronx, New York. From an early age he was a voracious reader, and his parents encouraged him in his pursuit of the literary arts. As early as sixth grade he proclaimed that he was going to be a writer, and during his years at the Bronx High School of Science (Class of '55) he was a frequent contributor to the school literary magazine. It was in this period that his work caught the attention of the fiction editor at Seventeen Magazine, Bryna Ivins. She and her husband, the anthologist and literary scholar Louis Untermeyer, took Peter under their wing and introduced him to many leading writers and editors of the day, as well as the woman who would become his first literary agent, Elizabeth Otis, who at the time represented John Steinbeck and Harper Lee.
