Peter S. Beagle’s "The Last Unicorn" is a timeless fantasy story full of adventures and surprises set within a poetic, humorous world of legend. The novel has been a cult book since it was first published in 1968. In 1982 the story was adapted by Peter S. Beagle himself into an unusual, widely successful animation film (with multiple re-releases on TV, video and DVD till today). It also inspired a best-selling soundtrack record (by Jimmy Webb/America, Virgin Records). 

Equally beloved by its worldwide fan community (see fan reviews) it is a pop culture phenomenon like Tolkien’s "Lord of the Rings". But  this beautiful and humorous fantasy story has a different, poetic tone. It is full of magical, positive imagery and has a message of peace, understanding and positive change and growth. "The Last Unicorn" is not only about heroes and wizardry, winning battles and fighting monsters - it is also a gentle, emotional tale about growing up, about the discovery of your special place in the world and about love – a timeless fairy tale of transformation and the realization of our dreams.

"The Last Unicorn" is like a surprising, often humorous road movie through many realms of fantasy and legend that ends in a dramatic conflict of a young woman who was a unicorn once and must become a unicorn again to finish her quest and fulfill her purpose. A tale of change from a dark age to a better time - like every great fantasy legend.
