Before he was known primarily as a fantasy novelist, Beagle wrote engaging non-fiction. I See by My Outfit (1965) is a funny and observant account of a cross-country motorcycle trip he took with a friend. American Denim (1975) looked at the cultural meaning of blue jeans in America.

His books about animals show a genuine affection for the non-human world. The Lady and Her Tiger (1976) told the story of a big cat trainer, while In the Presence of Elephants (1995) documented the elephant program at the Portland Zoo. These books have the same warmth and keen observation that mark his fiction.
