Last Unicorn the Lost Journey
Last Unicorn the Lost Journey | Peter S Beagle
6 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
Special Commemorative Edition celebrating the 50th Anniversary of The Last Unicorn Peter S. Beagle first imagined his beloved heroine when he was twenty-three, half a decade before she sprang into the world. Now the Last Unicorn's fantastical origins are recaptured in this lovely commemorative hardcover. Here you will discover the eighty-five page genesis of Beagle's masterpiece, his own wry musings upon his early career, charming original illustrations, and tributes from modern fantasy legends Patrick Rothfuss and Carrie Vaughn. In this wonderfully strange adventure, a brave unicorn leaves her solitary life behind, determined to discover if she is the last of her kind. She is forewarned by a forlorn dragon and befuddled by a chatty butterfly; her unfamiliar traveling companion will be an exiled demon with a split personality and a penchant for philosophy. Somewhere between mythology, modernity, and magic, the Last Unicorn has found herself on the road less traveled by . . . until now.

What a fascinating look at the earliest draft of a beloved novel! This is very different from the eventually published version of The Last Unicorn. The unicorn is basically the same character, and the butterfly appears, plus a few lines are the same, but that‘s about it. A demon accompanies the unicorn for much of her journey, and it just sort of ends—nothing is discovered. The most fascinating part to me is that instead of the Red Bull…

Clare-Dragonfly …covering the other unicorns‘ footsteps, it‘s the road that the unicorn is following throughout the book, which represents the changes wrought by modernity. Both the unicorn and the demon (and a dragon) have problems with that modernity in different directions. 2mo

Thanks @LibrarianRyan for the fab #BBRC mail! I got a little nervous opening it because I was afraid it was for the #BookmarkSwap instead lol. I love all of these though and can‘t wait to color the scarecrow!

LibrarianRyan Yeahh. I love Hobby Lobby‘s bookmarks to color. They usually have them for Halloween. Which they had no Halloween stuff out yet. It‘s the first year I‘ve seen the thanksgiving ones. Just couldn‘t help myself. 5y
bibliobard @LibrarianRyan I will make sure to send you a pic when it is colored! 5y
