The Last Unicorn
"There has never been a unicorn like her."
In a story that glows with myth and melancholy, The Last Unicorn follows one immortal creature's quest to discover what became of the rest of her kind and, ultimately, what it means to be more than a legend. Peter S. Beagle weaves a tale that’s whimsical and wise, aching and lyrical, where magic shimmers just beneath sorrow.
This is not just a fantasy story. It’s a meditation on memory, loss, and the quiet courage of transformation. Laced with humor, heartbreak, and haunting beauty, it reminds us that even fairy tales grow old and still endure.
