INCLUDES A NEW INTRODUCTION BY PATRICK ROTHFUSS

Experience one of the most enduring classics of the twentieth century and the book that The Atlantic has called “one of the best fantasy novels ever.”

The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone...

...so she ventured out from the safety of the enchanted forest on a quest for others of her kind. Joined along the way by the bumbling magician Schmendrick and the indomitable Molly Grue, the unicorn learns all about the joys and sorrows of life and love before meeting her destiny in the castle of a despondent monarch—and confronting the creature that would drive her kind to extinction....

In The Last Unicorn, renowned and beloved novelist Peter S. Beagle spins a poignant tale of love, loss, and wonder that has resonated with millions of readers around the world.

“Peter S. Beagle illuminates with his own particular magic.”—Ursula K. Le Guin

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

Great Story

I'm so happy that this book is finally a audiobook, it's one of my all time favorite fantasy books. I did enjoy the narrator, I think she was a perfect voice for the unicorn, the only complaint I have and this is for Audible, when putting out a sample I wouldn't use the introduction unless it's been spoken by the same narrator of the story. The introduction isn't long and other listeners can't decide whether this may be the right listen for them or not.

Nostalgia item achieved

I enjoyed the story, and had always wanted to read it since I had seen the animated movie years ago. I prefer more of an action story, but this was full of feelings and the battle between Love and fear.

Most likely won't read it again, but glad I read it once.

I love this story!

Such a beautiful book! The narrator's voice wonderfully portrays the Unicorn's voice! Finally, an audiobook!

Hope

Love the story of the Unicorn mystic magnificent creatures and the sound of freedom.

Great stuff!

I saw the movie 20 years ago, and I did not realize it was a book, it took me this long but I finally read it, and it is wonderful!

As good as I’d hoped

There are so many small scenes and turns of phrase that capture the imagination. I remember loving this movie as a kid and reading had the same sense of wonder. Enjoy!

I'm Alive

When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning,
And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning,
Then look into the sky where through
the clouds a path is torn,
Look and see her how she sparkles,
It's The Last Unicorn.

The magic is alive in this story

The book gave me my childhood back momentarily as an escape from this world

The book didn’t disappoint

I watch the movie hundred of times as a child. The book is just as good.

Very good story

I wish it was longer! I wish That there were more about the unicorn and all the characters! I didn’t want it to end. I loved hearing the quotes I remembered from seeing the movie as a child. It is magical.
