- 1. The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is a poignant and beautifully crafted fantasy novel that tells the story of a solitary unicorn who embarks on a quest to discover what has happened to the rest of her kind, who have mysteriously vanished from the world. As she sets out on her journey, she transforms into a human form to blend in with the mortal realm and encounters a motley crew of characters, including a bumbling but earnest magician named Schmendrick and a fierce yet vulnerable woman named Molly Grue. Throughout the tale, the unicorn grapples with themes of loss, identity, and the enduring power of hope, as she faces the grim realities of aging and the impermanence of beauty. Beagle's lyrical prose and rich imagery evoke a sense of wonder, while also delving into deeper philosophical questions about existence and the nature of legend. Ultimately, The Last Unicorn is celebrated not just for its enchanting narrative, but for its emotional depth and the timeless resonance of its central message: that the journey to reclaim what is lost is as important as the destination itself.
