Product Information

INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION BY PATRICK ROTHFUSS Experience one of the most enduring classics of the twentieth century and the book that The Atlantic has called "one of the best fantasy novels ever." The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone... ...so she ventured out from the safety of the enchanted forest on a quest for others of her kind. Joined along the way by the bumbling magician Schmendrick and the indomitable Molly Grue, the unicorn learns all about the joys and sorrows of life and love before meeting her destiny in the castle of a despondent monarch--and confronting the creature that would drive her kind to extinction.... In The Last Unicorn , renowned and beloved novelist Peter S. Beagle spins a poignant tale of love, loss, and wonder that has resonated with millions of readers around the world. "Peter S. Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic."--Ursula K. Le Guin

Praise for Peter S. Beagle and The Last Unicorn "Comes alive and stays alive on bright intensity of imagination."-- The New York Times Book Review "Peter S. Beagle is (in no particular order) a wonderful writer, a fine human being, and a bandit prince out to steal readers' hearts."--Tad Williams   "Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic."--Ursula K. LeGuin   "Almost as if it were the last fairy tale, come out of lonely hiding in the forests of childhood, The Last Unicorn is as full of enchantment as any of the favorite tales readers may choose to recall...A delicate, sensitive, yet powerful rendering of all the intangibles that make a fairy tale unforgettable."-- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Beagle...has been compared, not unreasonably, with Lewis Carroll and J.R.R. Tolkien, but he stands squarely and triumphantly on his own feet...The book is rich, not only in comic bits but also in passages of uncommon beauty. Beagle is a true magician with words, a master of prose and a deft practitioner in verse."-- The Saturday Review  , Praise for Peter S. Beagle and The Last Unicorn "Comes alive and stays alive on bright intensity of imagination."-- The New York Times Book Review "Written in lyrical prose and rife with both whimsical humor and philosophical ruminations on what it means to be human, Beagle spins a quasi-medieval fairy tale that remains timeless."-- Time " The Last Unicorn is the best book I have ever read. You need to read it. If you've already read it, you need to read it again."--Patrick Rothfuss "Peter S. Beagle is (in no particular order) a wonderful writer, a fine human being, and a bandit prince out to steal readers' hearts."--Tad Williams "Almost as if it were the last fairy tale, come out of lonely hiding in the forests of childhood, The Last Unicorn is as full of enchantment as any of the favorite tales readers may choose to recall...A delicate, sensitive, yet powerful rendering of all the intangibles that make a fairy tale unforgettable."-- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Beagle...has been compared, not unreasonably, with Lewis Carroll and J.R.R.

  • A Wonderful Read!

    The Last Unicorn was my first experience with how a writer can make characters, actions and even the colors of description come vividly alive for the reader. Beagle tells the tale of a Unicorn who comes to realize that she may be the last of her kind. Her search for other unicorns is the frame of the story. Along the way she meets and travels with a bumbling wizard, Schmendrick, and an earthy scullery maid, Molly Grue. She encounters silly butterflies, a tragic king (Haggard) and his romantic son, Prince Lyr. Perhaps the Unicorn's most vivid and frightening encounter is with Mommy Fortuna and her Midnight Carnival. This lesson in illusion and how humans see what they wish to believe, is strangely terrifying. That Mommy Fortuna ultimately meets her demise at the claws of the only ...

  • Fantasy with humor, coming of age, loss of innocence.

    The title of Beagle’s fantasy story is somewhat misleading, in that his protagonist, the Unicorn, while perhaps his central character, is not the most intriguing. Certainly, the story revolves around her search for others of her kind, but it is Schmendrick the Magician who caught my attention in the tale. Schmendrick’s many bungled attempts at performing magic offer comedic relief to the story, and Beagle’s fascination with this character shows. As an emerging poet, the prose and poetry throughout the story caught my eye, and Beagle’s rhyming skills are great. Even the Unicorn, while under the spell casting her as Lady Amalthea, sings a song near the end of the book. These poems and songs serve to cast a spell of their own over the reader, lulling them into the fantasy world Beagle has ...

    always loved this movie as a kid, bought it in the mid 90's, but never read the book, so bought it recently. though the book portrayed with the 40th anniversary cover, wasn't the one i received, mine has the yellow cover with the red writing on the front, was looking forward to getting the 40th anniversary book, but am still happy with the one i received, its in great condition, and easy to read.

  • The Last Unicorn

    This is a charming story about a Unicorn. First read it many years ago. Lost my copy. But had to order it as my great=granddaughter was familiar with it and wanted to read it. So this purchase is for her. This is a Classic, must read.

  • It touches your soul.

    This is one of my favorite books of all time! Peter Beagle's writing is full of wonder. It touches your soul. The Last Unicorn is a classic that everyone should read. I could talk about the unicorn and her journey, or the other great characters that I fell in love with, but the book is more than the sum of its parts; saying "it touches your soul" is the closest I can come to describing the essence of the book in its entirety.
