Overhearing a chance conversation, she resolves to venture out and discover the truth. The road is dangerous, and the risks are great. If she fails, then unicorns will be lost. Forever. A modern fairy tale, The Last Unicorn is a beloved classic, voted by TIME as one of the 100 greatest fantasy novels of all time. It is fantastical, poignant, wistful and wonderous, showing us the humanity of magic, and the magic of humanity. Available in the UK for the first time in decades, this edition features an introduction by Patrick Rothfuss. 'At his best, Peter S. Beagle outshines the moon, the sun, the stars, the entire galaxy' - Seattle Times 'Truth and humanity shine out of the book as brightly as any of Beagle's unicorns' - StrangeHorizons.com

When I was a child I saw the movie 'The Last Unicorn', I highly enjoyed it, during Middle School in English class we were suppose to read a certain selection of books of our own choosing. Looking at the list I saw 'The Last Unicorn', I remember enjoying the movie and I wanted to see if there were differences between the book and movie. I went to Brand's Bookshop and got a copy of it. After reading the entire book I must say I enjoyed it as much as the movie. The book has scenes or expanded scenes that the movie didn't have. We find out more about the character's backgrounds. I highly recommend those who have seen the movie or love fantasy stories involving unicorns to read this book. You will highly enjoy it!
