Summary: The Last Unicorn ... a true, magical masterpiece.
Review: The Last Unicorn is very touching and emotional. The plot, the story, the details. Everything is perfect and awe-inspiring. This is the theme song to the movie: When the last eagle glides over the last crumbling moutain And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain In the shadow of the forest, though she may be old and worn They will stare unbelieving at the last unicorn! I'm alive! I'm alive! When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning And the future is past without ever a last desperate warning Then look into the sky where through the clouds have passed the storm Look and see her, how she sparkles, it's the last unicorn! I'm alive! I'm alive!

Summary: it's a beautiful story
Review: I have never read the book. I've been trying to order and buy it for the last year, only to find it is out of print and may not be printed again. I'm very upset, because since I first saw the animated movie at age 3, I've loved the story. If anyone can help me, it would be most appreciated. luv izza

Summary: I come back again and again...
Review: I first read The Last Unicorn in 1968. I have lost count of how many times I've read it since then. It is so full of wonder and courage and sacrifice and truly odd bits of humor. The folks who have only seen the movie have missed a lot.
Someday I'll find a way to say thanks to Peter S. Beagle. His stories have enriched my life.

Summary: This book is as simple or as deep as you want it to be!
Review: This book is generally classified as a children's fantasy story, but I read it in a college class and found profound insights on some very grown-up issues. Love, true friendship, greed, jealousy, unselfishness, perseverence, contentment, team work, consequences, ... they are all expounded in this little story. The butterfly is one of my favorite characters. Those who have read a wide variety of literature will recognize the delightful quotes that make up this creature's speech. Read this book to your children as a fairy tale, or study it in depth to learn about human interaction and emotion. I recommend this book to everyone!

Summary: The most well-loved book on my shelf and movie in my house
Review: I remember watching the movie first with my father when I was 5. I enjoyed the movie at the time for just a simple story, but my dad really enjoyed it and would suggest we watch it if I was ever bored. How many grown men do you know like to watch a cartoon? He enjoyed it as much as i did, maybe even more. Many years later, I was going through his library of books and found it by accident. I couldn't believe my eyes! The story instantly came back to me, and even though I knew the ending I read the book. That was 4 years ago. I've reread the book many times over and seen the movie many times too. Someday, I will read this to my children. This book is a perfect read for young and old alike. All you need is a love of fairy-tales. And yes, my dad still suggests we watch the movie.

Summary: What other story can capture the heart of a young girl so?
Review: I must confess, I have never read this book. As a child I would rent this video time and time again, never tiring of it's wonderful beauty. That was ten years ago. Over the years I have remembered this tale, looking for the unicorns on the turning tides, knowing that I saw one there among the trees. Yesterday, I was in a store, looking at something or other. I turned, and there is was- the video. Since then, I have watched it three times. On the back I saw that it was written by a man named Beagle, which is how I wound up here. Everytime I even think of the story, I feel as if I am still 7 years old; and filled with a radiant all-consuming bliss. I love her and I she stood for-- for a young girl and a young woman.

Summary: Magical! A fairy story for children and aduclts alike
Review: My children watched the cartoon version of the story whilst on holiday in Switzerland. They didn't understand the German language, but were enthralled by the story they saw in pictures. Once back in England, we bought the book, and it's been compuslive bed-time reading ever since. The story has all the necessary 'characters' - a wicked witch (although she uses trickery rather than magic), a trainee magician (who really does have magic powers, but just doesn't know how to control it), an evil king (Haggard), a prince who likes doing heroic deeds, and of course The Unicorn. Best of all, it has a happy ending. However, sometimes Peter Beagles narrative goes off at tangents with odd characters like the butterfly. I wasn't quite sure what it was about, but maybe you might understand it a bit better!

Summary: It is simply Wonderful!
Review: I watched the cartoon adaption of the book when I was 8 years old. Ever since, the tale of the unicorn, all powerful but very lonely has enthralled me. Sometimes, unconsciously, I catch myself thinking back about the adventures of the magical beast. I can still rememebr vividly the scene where the unicorn confronts the Red Bull. I was pleasantly surprised when I found the book last year. While it is true that the price might appear hefty for what appears to be a simple fairy tale, it is worth every single cent. The tale remains as fresh and captivating today as it was 12 years ago. I loved it! I am now trying to get all my cousins to read it. You should give it a try too!
