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 Review: Awesome! - the style of writing is poetic. no wonder it's a classic. Review: The quest of the unicorn - Peter Beagle's "The Last Unicorn" is one of the ultimate modern fairy tales -- the magical, bittersweet story of a little unicorn's search for others of her kind. Beagle spun a story of amazing simplicity and beauty, and it's only enhanced by the exquisitely lovely prose and the bittersweetness of the romance. What other unicorn story can evoke tat? A unicorn has lived happily in her idyllic little forest, until the day she hears a man say that "unicorns are long gone. If indeed they ever were." To find if she is indeed the last unicorn, she sets out on a journey across the land, and soon discovers that the people have forgotten what a unicorn even looks like. But she hears a butterfly speak of the Red Bull, and how he has captured all the unicorns of the world except her. So she sets out to find the others like her. Along her journey, she is captured by a traveling circus, and rescued by a bumbling young wizard with illusion powers. Along with the wizard and a bandit's girlfriend, she makes her way to the malignant castle of King Haggard -- and is transformed into a mortal girl, who experiences love, uncertainty, and finally sorrow. "The Last Unicorn" is honestly one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time, especially since Peter Beagle managed to write such a simple, haunting little fairy tale. There's romance, tragedy, fantastical creatures, and a mythical creature setting out on a seemingly hopeless quest -- and it's all so beautifully simple and powerfully real. And Beagle's prose only enhances the beauty of his story -- he fills it with luminous imagery ("Your eyes are full of green leaves, crowded with trees and streams and small animals"), haunting scenes and a plot both simple and entrancing. And there are many bittersweet moments, such as a woman lamenting that a unicorn has only come to her when she's no longer a bright, innocent young girl. The unicorn/Amalthea herself is a pretty unique character. She's incredibly ancient and wise, but she's also somewhat arrogant and very naive about the evils of the world -- and about human emotions. Schmendrick and Molly make solid supporting characters who help the Unicorn along her journey, particularly during her time as a human girl. "The Last Unicorn" is a beautiful, bittersweet little tale spun out of magical prose and powerful characters. A lovely, entrancing story. ## Features - Roc ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #166,044 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,180 in Fantasy Anthologies #1,190 in Military Fantasy (Books) #1,433 in Paranormal Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,810 Reviews | ## Images ![The Last Unicorn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HdWxrG4wL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome! *by S***B on 12 September 2017* the style of writing is poetic. no wonder it's a classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quest of the unicorn *by E***S on 21 January 2015* Peter Beagle's "The Last Unicorn" is one of the ultimate modern fairy tales -- the magical, bittersweet story of a little unicorn's search for others of her kind.
