ReviewsPraise 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.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
