It was a real treat to be able to read this, especially after I learned from a friend that there were only 1,000 ever printed, each one signed and numbered (I read copy #263). It is a "rough draft" of what later became The Last Unicorn, and although it bears very little resemblance to the final vers...
Although this was a lovely way to revisit the story of "The Last Unicorn" (so lovely, in fact, that I felt compelled to reread the original), the storytelling felt a little fragmented, and I wondered if it might be hard to follow if I didn't already know the story so well. Much of Beagle's original,...
As part of my Year in Reading Suggestions, I'm supposed to re-read a book this month. Originally, I was just going to read the graphic novel version of "The Last Unicorn" and count that as my re-read -- but reading it just left my hungry for more, so I pulled out the original again.

This is told simply enough and with no material that would be unsuitable for younger readers, but written so beautifully and evocatively it can fully hold an adult interest. In form it's a classic quest story, but unlike so many in fantasy one that feels unique and not some Tolkien retread. There's ...
For a long time, I thought I'd read this book, and just hadn't loved it. Then I read something else by Beagle, loved it - and realized that I'd been confusing 'The Last Unicorn' with Mark Helprin's 'Winter's Tale,' based solely on the cover art. So, I was rather excited to FINALLY read this.Unfortun...
accidental purchase...but only that I did not read that it was a graphic novel, I thought I was getting the regular story. Still this was really cool so it all works out in the end
